In the context of precious metals transactions, dealers must complete a Form 1099-B. This is done when a customer sells any of the products mentioned in the IRS's list of reportable items in specific quantities, which we'll discuss later in this article. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that you report any physical sale of gold on Form 1099-B. The IRS considers that selling gold is part of the income and, therefore, you must submit the form and indicate the type of metal you are selling.
