Taxpayers Frustrated | Kraken's 1099-DA Forms Delayed
As the tax season heats up, people are growing increasingly frustrated with delays in receiving their 1099-DA forms from Kraken. With the IRS deadline nearing, many are questioning the exchange's ability to fulfill its legal obligations on time.
Complaints Flooding Forums
Comments on various forums reflect a rising tide of dissatisfaction. One angry person stated, "Worse than Coinbase is criminal! I gave up and used CoinLedger. I don’t understand the hold up from Kraken." Others echoed this sentiment, emphasizing their frustration with competitors sending their forms promptly by the January 31 deadline.
"Now they are saying we need to wait until March 13 when I had every single other tax form by January 31," lamented another commenter. This growing frustration suggests that Kraken may be losing the trust of its user base.
Some users, however, received different timelines from support. One user shared, "I chatted with support yesterday morning and was told the 1099-DA would be ready by the end of next week." This contrast in communication adds to the confusion and anxiety surrounding the tax documents.
Trust Erosion
The situation is concerning for many people, as some are ready to pull their funds if the situation does not improve. A user mentioned, "This is the last year that I use Kraken." In light of these problems, some are even suggesting reporting Kraken to the IRS.
"We can call the IRS and tell them Kraken is late for everybody," one resourceful taxpayer advised.
With mixed signals and growing worries, will Kraken be able to meet the critical filing deadline? The exchange stands at a crucial juncture as it works to restore confidence among its increasingly disillusioned customer base.
