  Sure! The IRS determines the threshold for reporting cryptocurrency income on a 1099 form based on the fair market value of the cryptocurrency. If the fair market value of the cryptocurrency exceeds $600 during the tax year, then it needs to be reported on a 1099 form. This threshold applies to all types of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others.
