  Ah, reporting cryptocurrency income on 1099 and w9 forms, a topic that often confuses many. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, not currency, so any gains or losses from cryptocurrency transactions are subject to capital gains tax. When it comes to reporting cryptocurrency income, you should report the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time you received it. If you receive cryptocurrency as payment for goods or services, you should report the fair market value of the cryptocurrency as income. It's crucial to maintain accurate records of all your cryptocurrency transactions and seek advice from a tax professional to ensure you're following the regulations and guidelines established by the IRS.
