Pinehurst Coins & Government Reporting

For most transactions, Pinehurst Coins does not report your precious metals purchase details with the government. However, Pinehurst Coins has a reporting obligation when cash or related cash payments surpass $10,000 within a 24-hour period. Please be advised that this also encompasses cashier’s checks and money orders valued up to and in excess of $10,000. In these instances, Pinehurst Coins will be required to file Form 8300 with the IRS.

Reporting on Buybacks

Some products that we might repurchase from our clientele necessitate reporting to the IRS. Such transactions involve Form 1099-B. Customers must fill out a Form W-9 for the 1099-B to be sent to the IRS. Pinehurst Coins provides the W-9 during transaction discussions, and it’s crucial for us to have it before making the payment. Expect the 1099-B forms to be dispatched by February 15 of the subsequent year after the buyback.

The ICTA has given the subsequent guidelines concerning Precious Metal transactions. Keep in mind, both these and IRS directives could be modified at any time without notice.
