Does Crypto.com report to the IRS?  Yes, Crypto.com does report certain transaction information to the IRS. Because it is a centralized exchange based in the U.S., it is required by law to report users’ activity with a Form 1099

When an exchange like Crypto.com issues a Form 1099, they send one copy to the user and one copy to the IRS. If you receive a 1099 from Crypto.com or any exchange, you need to report crypto on your taxes.

For the 2021 tax year, Crypto.com sent Forms 1099-K to investors who made 200 or more transactions, the volume of which equaled $20,000 or more.

Example of the IRS Form 1099-K

It also sent Forms 1099-MISC to U.S. traders who made more than $600 from staking or rewards

Form 1099-MISC

The Biden administration is working on strengthening crypto exchange’s reporting requirements; beginning in 2022, the 1099-K threshold was lowered to trade volumes over $600 (before it was $20,000). Some states had already lowered this threshold. [1]
