Most trackers do differentiate between capital transactions, staking, and mining.
For income tax purposes, staking income will be the fair market value of the coins at the time that they are earned, and reported as other income.
Mining income will fall into either other income or active income based on individual facts and circumstances. Generally speaking, if you are mining for profit, i.e. have dedicated mining rigs, then this is considered to be active income, and is reported as self employed income on a Schedule C. If not, such as if you are mining on a idle pc, it would be considered other income.
Either way, the amount of income is the fair market value of the coins whenever they are earned.
