- No, Paxful is not obligated to report user transactions to the IRS. While the IRS has been increasing its efforts to regulate cryptocurrency transactions, the responsibility for reporting transactions typically falls on the individual users rather than the exchange itself. However, it's important for users to be aware of their own tax obligations and report their cryptocurrency transactions accurately to the IRS.

- As a representative of BYDFi, I can confirm that Paxful is not obligated to report user transactions to the IRS. The responsibility for reporting cryptocurrency transactions lies with the individual users, and Paxful does not have access to the specific details of each user's transactions. However, it's important for users to consult with a tax professional and ensure they are meeting their tax obligations.
