The answers are posted below in the order of your questions.

 

1- All tax forms (1040, 8949, 8995, etc and schedules (A, B, C, D, etc)  must be mailed with your tax return (Form 1040) as well as any document that has federal withholding plus a W-2 with or without federal withholding. Income reporting forms such as 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC, 1099-B do not get mailed unless they do have federal withholding.

 

2- Yes, you must report your virtual currency transactions on your tax return even though you did not receive a reporting document from the company. This is considered a sale of an investment and you will select:

  • Investment Income > Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other > answer No you did not receive a 1099-B and I'll type it myself > Continue

3- Companies have received new reporting rules that require they report to the IRS any sales or cash transactions that equal or exceed $600. This means you are issued the Form 1099-K and the IRS receives a copy as well.

A payment from your cousin would not constitute income or require you to report it as income if it was a gift or loan.  If you sold something to your cousin and you made a profit or gain then this might be a sale of personal property.  A gain would be taxable but a loss would not be allowed if it was personal use property that was sold.

 

4- The state return is handled the same as the federal return, do not attach the documents you received that reported your income to you except the W-2 and any document that has state tax withholding.

 

5- Yes, you need to enter NRA and it's really best if you white out any number you may have entered that is not a valid number. The IRS may get confused.

 

6- If the state interview is asking for the spouse name you should enter it.  States have so many different requirements than the federal and it's possible some information is removed because of the nature of the state return.
