So do adjustments need to be made or not?  I don't understand how it would reduce my gain?  Regardless of the reward amount, the amount I bought for and sold is unaffected.  Let's say 50 crypto @ $1 was sold for $2.  I made $50.  Now lets says 1 of those 50 cryptos is a reward and the amount I actually purchased was 49 crypto, giving my actual purchase amount a $49 gain.  How does the reward affect this?  If the reward never happened, my gain would still be $49.  Anyway, is it correct to report the crypto as income on 1099-MISC AND any gain/loss on the reward?

 

Thank you.
