Some Crypto Tax Points at the End of the Year
2020 has come to a close and it’s time to think about taxes. Together with the New Year Eve’s bell, let’s count some tax points worth of pay attention.
Tax returns for 2020 are due on April 15, 2021, which is not too far away.
Both in 2019 and 2020, the IRS added a question to everyone’s tax return: “At any time during 2019/2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?” And you need to tick the “yes” or “no” box. In fact, it possibly will be a standard feature of tax returns. Because the IRS classifies crypto assets as property, any sale is going to produce either a gain or loss, and a yes or no box can turn out to be pretty important.
IRS Forms 1099-MISC, 1099-K, 1099-B, Schedule K-1 and even the new Form 1099-NEC for the 2020 tax return season can and do report crypto payments and transactions. If you receive any Forms 1099, keep track of them.

Coinbase IPO, Will You Invest?
The US-based crypto giant Coinbase is seeking an IPO in early 2021.
It is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume. How will the mainstream market and public investors value Coinbase? It’s definitely a big event for the crypto market to expect in the coming new year.
To catch up with this heat, FTX has introduced new Coinbase pre-IPO contracts. CBSE are not tokenized stocks. They instead track the market cap of Coinbase. After Coinbase’s first day of public trading, they will convert into the equivalent amount of tokenized Coinbase fraction stocks.
It means you can invest in Coinbase even before the IPO. What’s more, you can get a $30 fee voucher for your trading in FTX.
