  As a cryptocurrency trader or investor, the impact of 1099 B on your activities is something you need to be aware of. The IRS considers cryptocurrencies as property, not currency, which means that they are subject to capital gains tax. When you sell or exchange cryptocurrencies, you may be required to report the transaction on Form 1099 B. This form is used to report the proceeds from the sale of securities, including cryptocurrencies. It is important to note that not all cryptocurrency transactions are subject to reporting on Form 1099 B. For example, if you use cryptocurrencies solely for personal purchases and do not convert them back to fiat currency, you may not need to report the transactions. However, if you engage in trading or investment activities with cryptocurrencies, it is likely that you will need to report the transactions on Form 1099 B. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax laws and to properly report your cryptocurrency transactions.
