Note:

  • If you’ve earned less than $600 in crypto income, you won’t be receiving a 1099-MISC form from us. Visit Qualifications for Coinbase tax form 1099-MISC to learn more.

  • If you are a US customer who traded futures, you'll receive a 1099-B for this activity via email and in Coinbase Taxes.

  • Non-US customers won’t receive any forms from Coinbase and must use their transaction history report to fulfill their local tax obligations.
