1099-DA can show how much an investor received when selling a digital asset, but it may not show how much the investor originally paid for that asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, imagine an investor bought Bitcoin for $9,000 and later sold it for $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actual gain would be $1,000 before any applicable adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a 2025 Form 1099-DA might only report the $10,000 sale proceeds without including the $9,000 cost basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This difference is important because gross proceeds can appear much larger than an investor&#8217;s actual taxable profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris Herbst, managing director of CountDeFi tax reporting, explained that active traders can see very large gross proceeds on their forms because every sale is counted at its full value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taxpayers then have to match those sales with their purchase records to calculate the real gain or loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investors Still Need Their Own Crypto Records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS requires taxpayers to report digital asset income, gains, and losses even if they do not receive a Form 1099-DA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes accurate recordkeeping especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors may need to combine information from several sources if they bought an asset on one exchange, moved it to a private wallet, and later sold it through another platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complete crypto transaction history can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buy and sell transactions<\/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 IDs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acquisition dates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Original purchase prices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missing records can make it much harder to calculate the correct cost basis, especially when crypto has moved between several wallets or platforms over multiple years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Exchanges Are Showing Reporting Differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax professionals have also reported differences between investor records and the information appearing on some 1099-DA forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharon Yip, founder of Crypto Tax Advisors, said her firm had found situations where forms did not fully match clients&#8217; transaction histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Yip, some forms omitted trades, while others included cost basis for certain transactions but not for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one example, a client had more than $300,000 worth of stablecoin trading activity during 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the exchange&#8217;s 1099-DA reportedly showed less than $100,000 in total stablecoin proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That required the tax firm to compare the form against the investor&#8217;s complete transaction history before determining what should be reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Late and Incomplete Crypto Tax Forms Add Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some investors also received their tax forms late in the filing season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Duca, founder of Awaken Tax, said some customers received forms only shortly before the April 15 tax deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He cited Kraken as one example and said some forms arrived around two weeks before the filing deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duca also pointed to an example of a 1099-DA that reportedly contained no transaction information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Situations like these can make filing more complicated, particularly for investors with a large number of trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS advises taxpayers who receive an incorrect form to request a corrected version from the issuer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, taxpayers generally should not delay filing simply because they are waiting for a correction.<\/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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxpayers Should Compare Forms With Transaction History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax professionals are advising investors not to simply copy the numbers from Form 1099-DA directly into a tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, investors should compare the information with their complete transaction history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to make sure that the return reflects actual gains and losses, even when a broker&#8217;s form is incomplete or inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This becomes especially important for people who actively trade across several exchanges or move assets between custodial platforms and self-custody wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manual Crypto Tax Reporting Remains a Major Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another issue is that many crypto tax software platforms still cannot fully import and reconcile Form 1099-DA automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Gordon, executive director of Digital Asset Tax Action, said some investors have had to manually enter large numbers of transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For active traders, this could mean reviewing or entering hundreds of individual records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon has called on crypto brokers to provide machine-readable files alongside Form 1099-DA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such files could include important information such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Acquisition dates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase amounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sale proceeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing this information in a standardized digital format could make it easier for investors and tax software to reconcile transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">October 15 Deadline Approaches for Extended Returns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taxpayers who received a federal filing extension generally have until October 15 to file their 2025 tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the extension usually applies only to filing the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any tax balance owed was generally still due by the original filing deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors with unresolved crypto transactions therefore have limited time to collect records, compare exchange statements, and calculate their gains and losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Tax Rules Are Also Getting Attention in Congress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto tax reporting has also become a policy issue in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent legislation discussed in the House has included proposals that could reduce the tax burden associated with certain small blockchain transaction fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawmakers and industry representatives have argued that calculating gains and losses on routine stablecoin payments and network fees can create significant compliance work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, these proposals have not changed the reporting requirements for 2025 tax returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors still need to follow the current rules when completing their filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Changes for Crypto Tax Reporting in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next phase of Form 1099-DA reporting applies to digital asset transactions made during 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under IRS guidance, brokers will be required to report cost basis for certain covered digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, this applies to eligible 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 acquired before 2026, as well as crypto transferred into a broker from another wallet or exchange, may still be treated as noncovered assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those transactions, investors may still need to calculate their own cost basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain stablecoin and NFT transactions may also be reported using alternative methods that do not necessarily include basis information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Crypto Investors Should Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first year of Form 1099-DA reporting shows that investors cannot rely entirely on broker-issued tax forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The safest approach is to maintain a complete transaction history and compare it with every tax form received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors who have used several exchanges, self-custody wallets, DeFi platforms, or stablecoins may need to reconcile records from multiple sources before filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As crypto tax reporting becomes more standardized, the process could become easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, however, accurate personal records remain one of the most important tools for avoiding mistakes on a crypto tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclosure:<\/strong> This article is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered tax, legal, or
