Tax Reporting

GMRgold currently does not collect any sales tax on Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium or other Precious Metals. For items other than Precious Metals as well as jewelry items, there may be a tax, depending on your state or location. You can see clearly at checkout whether GMRgold will add a tax amount to your purchase.

Yes. The 1099-B IRS form is where the proceeds of customer sales of all Precious Metals on the IRS Reportable Items List are reported. Consult a tax professional to learn how this form affects you in your individual tax situation.

Sales of precious metals made by individuals are reported to the IRS on the 1099-B form. The IRS can use this information to determine if individuals who are selling precious metals to increase their income have indeed reported the income from their sales to the IRS. For more information on this form and what it means to you, consult your tax professional.

Dealers file the 1099-B whenever a customer sells the minimum amount of any of the precious metals items on the IRS Reportable Items List. The reporting details vary with the specific product sold. Please consult a tax professional for more information on how this affects your personal tax situation.
