Tax Reporting Requirements for Bullion Transactions

The information provided herein is for educational purposes only and is not intended to serve as financial or tax advice. Please consult your tax professional for advice regarding your individual financial or tax situation.


There are two circumstances in which precious metals dealers are legally obligated to report consumer transactions to the IRS:

  1. When a consumer sells reportable quantities of specific bullion or coins; and
  2. When a consumer buys goods from a dealer and pays $10,000 or more in cash for the goods.


The former is a tax issue and will be discussed below. The latter is an anti-money laundering issue and is not the subject of this post.  Contact us for personalized help with your tax reporting needs.
