  Failing to report cryptocurrency transactions on a 1099 form can have serious consequences. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and any gains or losses from its sale or exchange are subject to taxation. If you fail to report these transactions, you may be subject to penalties, including fines and potential criminal charges for tax evasion. It's important to accurately report your cryptocurrency transactions to avoid these penalties.
