  When filling out the 8949 form for cryptocurrency transactions, it's important to accurately report each transaction separately. Make sure to include the date of the transaction, the type of cryptocurrency, the amount bought or sold, the cost basis, and the proceeds. You should also indicate whether the transaction resulted in a gain or loss. It's crucial to double-check the information before submitting the form to ensure accuracy.

  For the 1099 form, you need to report any income received from cryptocurrency transactions. If you received payments in cryptocurrency, you should convert the value to the equivalent amount in USD and report it as income. It's important to keep track of all your transactions and consult with a tax professional if you're unsure about how to accurately report your cryptocurrency income.
