Hello @Palmartinez

 

Welcome! Thank you for joining the PayPal Community. I'm sorry to hear there's some confusion reporting your Bitcoin transactions on your taxes. Once it's generated, you should find a document titled "Gains and losses statement" in the Tax Documents page on your PayPal account. That should have all the information you need when completing your tax return. The 1099 forms are normally available on or around January 31, but the Gains / Losses doc is normally made available on or around February 15. 

 

I Hope that helps!
