IRS Form 1099 is a series of tax forms used by the United States Internal Revenue Service to report various types of income other than salaries, wages, and tips. For digital assets, it is relevant for reporting income from staking, mining, interest, or proceeds from certain transactions. Entities making payments or facilitating transactions typically issue these forms to recipients and the IRS. This ensures proper tax reporting for non-employment income.
