Coinbase tax information

US customers can use Coinbase Taxes to find everything needed to file Coinbase.com taxes. Coinbase Taxes will help you understand what Coinbase.com activity is taxable, your gains or losses, earned income on Coinbase, and the information and reports (including IRS forms) you need to file. 

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.

  • Coinbase Taxes reflects your activity on Coinbase.com but doesn’t include Coinbase Pro or Coinbase Wallet activity. Visit the Statements section of your account to download Pro transactions.
