  The IRS has established guidelines for reporting digital currency activity and issuing 1099 forms. According to these guidelines, any individual or business that receives digital currency as payment for goods or services must report the fair market value of the digital currency in US dollars as of the date of receipt. If the fair market value of the digital currency received exceeds $600 in a tax year, the recipient must also receive a 1099 form from the payer. It's important to note that these requirements apply to both individuals and businesses engaging in digital currency transactions.
