  When reporting cryptocurrency transactions on the 1099 form, there are several guidelines that need to be followed. Firstly, all transactions involving the buying, selling, or exchanging of cryptocurrencies must be reported. This includes both fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-crypto transactions. Secondly, the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction should be reported in US dollars. This value can be determined using reputable cryptocurrency pricing sources. Lastly, it is important to accurately report the type of transaction, whether it is a purchase, sale, or exchange. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in penalties or audits by the IRS.
