  Yes, if you purchased goods using cryptocurrency in 2021, you may need to issue a 1099 form. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so if you used it to make a purchase, it could be considered a taxable event. However, the specific requirements for issuing a 1099 form may vary depending on your jurisdiction and the value of the transaction. It's always best to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are in compliance with the relevant tax laws.

  No, you do not need to issue a 1099 form for goods purchased with cryptocurrency in 2021. The IRS has not provided clear guidance on this specific scenario, and there is currently no explicit requirement to issue a 1099 for cryptocurrency transactions. However, it's important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions for tax purposes and consult with a tax professional to ensure you are meeting all your tax obligations.
