    Yes, Square does send a 1099 form for cryptocurrency transactions. As a payment processor, Square is required to report these transactions to the IRS. This means that if you receive income from cryptocurrency transactions through Square, you may receive a 1099 form at the end of the year.

    No, Square does not send a 1099 form for cryptocurrency transactions. Square is primarily a payment processor for small businesses, and they do not have the same reporting requirements as larger financial institutions. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are reporting your cryptocurrency income correctly.
