- Dec 16, 2021 · 3 years agoCalculating and paying taxes on your Coinbase cryptocurrency earnings is crucial for staying compliant with tax laws. As an exchange, Coinbase may provide you with a Form 1099-K if your trading activity meets certain thresholds. This form can help you report your earnings accurately. However, it is important to note that you are still responsible for keeping track of all your trades and calculating your gains or losses. If you have a large number of trades or complex transactions, it may be beneficial to seek the assistance of a tax professional or use tax software to ensure accurate reporting. Remember to consult with a tax professional or refer to the IRS guidelines for specific instructions on reporting cryptocurrency earnings.
