Deductions & credits

If I understand you correctly, you earned 12 X $0.0003 = $0.0036 when you acquired the crypto. 

 

The IRS says that this is a taxable event but in this case the income rounds to $0.

 

If the crypto was sold for $1.00 each, you earned 12 X $1.00 = $12.0000

 

Your cost basis is what you earned it for so that is                      $   .0036

 

Second taxable event is this gain                                                $11.9964 which rounds to $12.00

 

It is a long term gain if you owned one year plus one day or more, short term if it was a shorter period of time than that.
