  The 1099 basis reporting requirement is a regulation that mandates cryptocurrency exchanges to report the cost basis of transactions to the IRS. This affects cryptocurrency traders as it means that their trading activities will be closely monitored by the tax authorities. Traders will need to ensure that they accurately report their gains and losses from cryptocurrency trading on their tax returns, based on the information provided by the exchanges. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements can result in penalties and legal consequences.

This can be a hassle for traders who value their privacy and want to keep their trading activities under the radar. Additionally, accurately calculating the cost basis of each transaction can be complex and time-consuming. Traders need to keep detailed records of their trades and consult with tax professionals to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements.
