Looks like they are coming for your gold and you will have to fill out a tax form if you buy or sell more than $600 a year.Good luck with that.....

That sure is a lot of paperwork. Not just gold, but any bullion or coins.

Can you feel the grip tightening?

Having to do all of this paperwork makes me not want to deal with this.  I would rather go with a mutual fund or something like that.  If you buy it through a good broker, they will do all of the paperwork.  You can then spend your time doing more constructive things.  Hope you do well at your gold.

Everybody hates the $600 reporting requirement, and it appears likely to be repealed:

Repealed or not, if you buy or sell from me I won't report you. I think this should make doing business with me more valuable.

Until you're caught and that forum post is used as evidence of intent, anyway...

Huh, I didn't make that post, I guess it was my brother or someone else...

I shouldn't leave this thing logged on all the time I guess.

Or maybe the whole account belongs to my husband, er, I mean wife.
