Written by Nathaniel O'Dell

Form 1099-DA is a U.S. tax form used to report digital asset transactions (like cryptocurrency). Starting with transactions in 2025 (reported in early 2026)

Who Receives a 1099-DA?

You may receive a 1099-DA if you:

  • Sold cryptocurrency for U.S. dollars

  • Traded one digital asset for another

  • Used crypto to pay for goods or services

  • Had digital assets disposed of through a broker

What Information Is Reported?

Form 1099-DA generally includes:

  • Your name and taxpayer identification number

  • Description of the digital asset (e.g., BTC, ETH)

  • Date acquired (if known)

  • Date sold or disposed

  • Gross proceeds (what you received)

  • Cost basis (what you originally paid, if tracked)

  • Gain or loss (in some cases)

This helps determine your capital gain or capital loss.

What You Should Do If You Receive One

  1. Compare it with your own transaction records

  2. Verify cost basis and dates

  3. Report gains/losses on Schedule D and Form 8949

  4. Consult a tax professional if unsure

Even if you don’t receive a 1099-DA, you are still required to report taxable crypto activity.
