The yes/no checkbox
Read guide →A single year of crypto activity can split across the tax return in ways stocks never do. Sell or swap a coin and it is a capital transaction, reported line by line on crypto tax Form 8949 and netted on Schedule D. Earn it through staking, an airdrop, or rewards and it is ordinary income, usually on Schedule 1. Mine as a business and it can land on Schedule C with self-employment tax. Hold assets on a foreign exchange and you may owe FBAR or Form 8938 disclosures. Gift a large amount and Form 709 comes into play. And every Form 1040 now opens with the digital-asset question you must answer truthfully. These guides take each one in turn so nothing slips through.
When Form 1099-DA is the problem, start with the box-by-box instructions, then check the exchange-specific guides for Coinbase, Kraken, or Robinhood. If the numbers are wrong, use the guides to repair missing cost basis, reconcile multiple 1099-DAs, and report Form 1099-DA on your return. The 1099-DA versus 1099-B comparison and the full 1099-DA reconciliation guide explain how the form fits with your own records. Coin-specific examples cover selling Bitcoin and selling XRP.
