What is the US tax form 1099-MISC and what do I do with it?
For U.S. taxpayers, the IRS requires companies that make certain types of payments to provide the recipient of such payments and the IRS with a 1099-MISC. This form provides information for a wide range of income payments such as crypto interest, referral bonuses, and other income.
For US clients, if you’ve earned $600 or more this year in crypto interest and bonuses, the 1099-MISC form will be made available to you by January 31, 2023.
U.S. taxpayers will need to report this income within their tax filing.
What is the US tax form 1099-B and what do I do with it?
The US tax form 1099-B provides transactional information detailing capital gains and losses from disposing of capital assets. At this time, cryptocurrency is classified and treated as property.
When you sell something for more than it cost you to acquire it, the profit is a capital gain and may be taxable. On the other hand, if you sell something for less than you paid for it, then you may have a capital loss and a reduction of your taxable capital gains or other income is possible.
The transactional details found on your 1099-B are used to fill out your IRS 8949.
A summary of the capital gains or losses from these transactions are reported on Form 1040 (Schedule D) of your tax return.
Your CoinList Form 1099-B will detail each asset you sold throughout the year with CoinList and report your cost basis, when available, for the assets you bought and sold on the platform.
What is US tax form 8949?
The IRS requires that details of cryptocurrency transactions that qualify as a gain or loss be reported on Form 8949, “Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets”.
How do I complete form 8949 using the form 1099-B?
