  Hey there! So, if you're a Cash App user and you've received cryptocurrency through 1099 forms, you gotta make sure you report those earnings on your tax return. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, not currency, so you'll need to file Form 1040 and include Schedule D and Form 8949. On Schedule D, you'll report your capital gains and losses from your cryptocurrency transactions, and on Form 8949, you'll provide all the juicy details of each transaction, like when you acquired it, when you sold it, how much you paid for it, and how much you got when you sold it. Keep in mind that the IRS will also get a copy of the 1099 form you received, so it's super important to report your earnings accurately. If you're not sure about all the nitty-gritty details, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to make sure you're on the right track.
