  Yes, if you have engaged in cryptocurrency transactions using PayPal in 2021, you may receive a 1099 form from PayPal. PayPal is required to report certain transactions to the IRS, and if you meet the criteria for receiving a 1099 form, PayPal will send it to you. It is important to note that receiving a 1099 form for cryptocurrency transactions means that the IRS is aware of your transactions, and you should report them on your tax return.

  No worries! PayPal will not send you a 1099 form for your cryptocurrency transactions in 2021. As of now, PayPal only sends 1099 forms for transactions related to goods and services. However, it's important to remember that you are still responsible for reporting your cryptocurrency transactions on your tax return.
