    As a representative of BYDFi, I can provide some general guidelines for reporting cryptocurrency gains on US 1099 taxes. It's important to note that I am not a tax professional, so it's always a good idea to consult with a qualified tax advisor for personalized advice. When reporting your cryptocurrency gains, you should follow the guidelines set by the IRS. Cryptocurrency is treated as property for tax purposes, so any gains made from buying, selling, or trading cryptocurrency are subject to capital gains tax. You should report your gains on Schedule D of your tax return, using Form 8949 to provide the details of each transaction. Keep accurate records of your transactions, including the date of acquisition, the date of sale, the cost basis, and the proceeds. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to a tax professional who can provide personalized guidance based on your individual circumstances.
