  Coinbase is a popular cryptocurrency exchange that takes the responsibility of issuing 1099-B forms for cryptocurrency transactions. When a user engages in certain activities on the platform, such as selling or exchanging cryptocurrencies, Coinbase will generate a 1099-B form for them. This form includes important information like the date of the transaction, the proceeds from the sale, and the cost basis of the cryptocurrency. It is important for users to report this information accurately on their tax returns to comply with tax regulations.
