  When filling out box 12 on your 1099-B form for virtual currency transactions, you should enter the cost or other basis of the virtual currency you sold. This is the amount you initially paid for the virtual currency, including any fees or commissions. If you acquired the virtual currency through mining or other means, you should use the fair market value of the virtual currency at the time of acquisition as the cost basis.
