Tax Forms Leave 1 in 5 US Investors Unsure of Accuracy"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new survey suggests that many U.S. crypto investors are still struggling with tax reporting as the first filing season involving Form 1099-DA creates confusion around transaction records and cost basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an August survey by Awaken Tax, around one in five crypto investors who filed or planned to file a tax extension said they had either received an incomplete Form 1099-DA or were unsure whether the information matched their actual trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey covered 1,000 U.S. crypto investors and focused on the 2025 tax filing season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another 21% of respondents who had filed, or expected to file, an extension said they were still waiting for information from a crypto exchange or trading platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings highlight the difficulties many investors face when trying to calculate crypto gains and losses accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Form 1099-DA?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Form 1099-DA is used by brokers to report certain digital asset transactions to the Internal Revenue Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For transactions made in 2025, brokers generally had to report the gross proceeds from covered crypto sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gross proceeds show how much an investor received when selling an asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in many cases, the form does not show how much the investor originally paid for that asset, also known as the cost basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can make tax calculations more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if an investor bought Bitcoin for $9,000 and later sold it for $10,000, the taxable gain would generally be $1,000 before other adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Form 1099-DA may show the $10,000 sale amount without including the $9,000 purchase price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the taxpayer must calculate the cost basis separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto investors must calculate their own cost basis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS says taxpayers are responsible for reporting their crypto income, gains, and losses correctly, even if they do not receive a Form 1099-DA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means investors may need to use their own transaction records to calculate how much they originally paid for their digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris Herbst, managing director of CountDeFi tax reporting, explained that gross proceeds can appear much larger than an investor&#8217;s actual profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This happens because the form records the full value of each sale without subtracting the original purchase price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For active traders, that difference can become significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A trader may have hundreds of thousands of dollars in total sales during a year while earning only a much smaller amount in actual profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transfers between wallets make tax reporting more difficult<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calculating cost basis becomes even more complicated when crypto assets move between exchanges and private wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an investor might buy Bitcoin on one exchange, transfer it to a private wallet, and later sell it through another platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, the selling exchange may not know the original purchase price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The taxpayer may need records from every platform and wallet involved in the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax professionals recommend keeping a complete history that includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Purchases and sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trading fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deposits and withdrawals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wallet transfers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transaction identifiers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missing even one transaction can affect future gain or loss calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially important for investors who have held crypto for several years or moved assets between multiple wallets and exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some exchange tax forms reportedly contain missing data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax professionals have also reported inconsistencies between exchange-issued 1099-DA forms and investors&#8217; complete transaction histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharon Yip, founder of Crypto Tax Advisors, said her firm has seen cases where some 2025 transactions were missing from exchange tax forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other situations, exchanges provided cost basis information for certain transactions but left it out for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One client reportedly completed more than $300,000 worth of stablecoin trades during 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the exchange&#8217;s 1099-DA showed less than $100,000 in total stablecoin proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference forced the tax firm to compare the form with the client&#8217;s complete trading records before preparing the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some investors received forms close to the tax deadline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timing has also been a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Duca, founder of Awaken Tax, said some crypto users received their tax forms late in the filing season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed to Kraken as one example, saying the exchange distributed forms to some customers roughly two weeks before the April 15 filing deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duca also highlighted an example of a Kraken Form 1099-DA that reportedly contained no transaction information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Late or incomplete forms can make it more difficult for investors to finish their returns on time, especially when hundreds of transactions need to be reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should taxpayers do if a 1099-DA is wrong?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS provides guidance for taxpayers who receive an incorrect Form 1099-DA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors can contact the issuer and request a corrected form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They should also keep copies of both the original form and any correspondence related to the correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the IRS says taxpayers should not necessarily delay filing while waiting for an updated form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, they should use their own records to report transactions as accurately as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duca also advised investors not to simply copy the numbers shown on a 1099-DA into their tax return without checking them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final tax return should reflect the taxpayer&#8217;s actual transactions, gains, and losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto tax software still requires manual work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another challenge is that many crypto tax platforms are still adapting to the new reporting system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Gordon, executive director of Digital Asset Tax Action, said many taxpayers have struggled to reconcile their 1099-DA forms with their own records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Gordon, most crypto tax software does not fully import and reconcile the new forms automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some platforms still require users to enter information manually because brokers did not provide machine-readable versions of their 2025 forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For active traders, that could mean reviewing or entering hundreds of transactions individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon has called for brokers to provide machine-readable files alongside Form 1099-DA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such files could include details such as acquisition dates, purchase prices, fees, and transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">October 15 deadline approaches for taxpayers with extensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. taxpayers who received a filing extension generally have until October 15 to submit their 2025 federal income tax returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extension gives taxpayers extra time to file their paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it does not usually provide additional time to pay taxes owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any balance due was generally required by the original filing deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes accurate recordkeeping particularly important for crypto investors who are still trying to reconcile exchange data before the October deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto tax rules are also receiving attention in Congress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto taxation has also become a topic of discussion among U.S. lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, proposed House legislation included an exemption for certain blockchain network transaction fees of up to $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporters of such measures argue that calculating gains and losses on small stablecoin payments and routine blockchain fees can create unnecessary reporting burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coinbase tax executive Lawrence Zlatkin previously told lawmakers that tracking gains and losses for everyday stablecoin payments can create significant compliance work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the proposed legislation has not changed the current filing requirements for 2025 tax returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost basis reporting will expand in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Form 1099-DA reporting requirements will become more detailed for some transactions made in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to IRS broker instructions, mandatory cost basis reporting will apply to certain covered digital assets purchased in a custodial broker account after 2025 and held there until they are sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assets purchased before 2026 or transferred into an exchange from another platform or wallet may still be classified as noncovered assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those assets, cost basis reporting by brokers may remain optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain stablecoin and NFT transactions may also qualify for alternative reporting methods that do not require brokers to provide cost basis information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, investors may still need to maintain detailed records even as broker reporting requirements expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accurate crypto records remain essential<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first filing season involving Form 1099-DA shows that crypto tax reporting is still developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the new form gives the IRS and taxpayers more information about digital asset sales, it does not always provide everything investors need to calculate their taxable gains or losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For U.S. crypto investors, maintaining complete records of purchases, sales, transfers, and fees remains essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As reporting rules expand in 2026, better broker data may simplify the process, but investors will still need to verify their records carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey suggests that many U.S. crypto investors are still struggling with tax
