I don't think that is correct. They are issuing 1099-K's for people who are accepting Bitcoin payments through Coinbase. They haven't issued any 1099's for people who only have a capital gain from buying and selling.

True, but they did add some tools to the tax center tab to make it easy to calculate your gains/losses for tax purposes.

The definition not accepting payments is broad, though: if you made a profit trading alt-coins on another exchange and cashed out using coinbase, you get a 1099-K.

We used Coinbase purely for trading and received a 1099-K
