GUIDE TO TAX-FREEGOLD & SILVER BUYING
And the 10k Reporting Myth
At SchiffGold, we respect the privacy of our clients and recognize that many investors want to maintain confidentiality when buying and selling gold and silver bullion products. IRS regulations mandate that we report certain sales transactions using Form 8300 and certain buyback transactions by issuing a 1099-B.
But it is possible to buy and sell precious metals without triggering these reporting requirements. Knowing and understanding the rules will enable you to plan your buying and selling in a way that allows you to maintain your privacy.
This report outlines our understanding of IRS reporting requirements. Remember, IRS rules are subject to interpretation and change. You should always consult with your accountant or tax attorney.
The Bank Secrecy Act requires reporting of cash transactions over $10,000 by filing IRS Form 8300. For this reason, SchiffGold does not accept cash payments.
These IRS reporting requirements kick in when an individual submits a single order, or a series of related orders, totaling over $10,000 in cash within a 24-hour period. Cash includes currency as well as cashier’s checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, and money orders. Cash purchases by separate members of the same household exceeding the $10,000 threshold within 24 hours could also be construed as a single transaction.
The IRS also requires reporting for any transaction deemed “suspicious” by the buyer or seller, regardless of the amount. Unfortunately, the IRS does not provide any guidelines as to what constitutes “suspicious.”
While these reporting requirements seem extensive, practically speaking, virtually all purchases of bullion are not reportable to the IRS unless you pay with cash.

* Note: The IRS considers cashier’s checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, or money orders with a face value of less than $10,000 to be equivalent to cash.
PURCHASE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
TRANSACTION TYPE
Any purchase under $10,000
Purchases in any amount using credit cards, bitcoin, personal checks, or bank wire transfers
One or more cash* purchases within 24 hours that total more than $10K
Single purchase over $10,000 using a cashier’s check, bank draft, traveler’s check, or money order
REPORTABLE NON-REPORTABLE
The IRS requires dealers to issue a 1099 tax form for specified sales transactions. Failure to report these transactions on income tax returns may result in a notice of omission from the IRS. Failure to pay applicable capital gains taxes can lead to IRS penalties. The IRS requires SchiffGold to file a 1099-B form whenever a customer sells us certain quantities of specific bullion products listed on the IRS’s Reportable Items List on page 5. In many cases, we are not required to report the transaction. Reporting requirements generally depend on the size and purity of the bullion you sell.
