    Reporting miscellaneous income from Coinbase for tax purposes can be a bit of a headache. As you may know, the IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, not currency. This means that any gains or losses from the sale or exchange of cryptocurrency are subject to capital gains tax. If you received miscellaneous income from Coinbase, such as airdrops or mining rewards, you'll need to report it as income on your tax return. The specific tax implications will vary depending on factors such as your income level and holding period. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're meeting your tax obligations and maximizing any potential deductions or credits.
