What about income from stocks?

If you sold investments through a bank or brokerage during the tax year, you should receive one or more Form 1099-B by January 31 of the following year. Brokers must mail a copy to every customer who sold stocks, bonds, options, commodities, or other securities.

What about income or losses from crypto?

All cryptocurrency sales are taxable transactions that have to be reported on your tax return. Beginning in 2025, cryptocurrency brokers are required to report sales on Form 1099-DA, but they aren't required to report the cost basis information for these sales.You may need to go to your exchange’s website and download your order or trading history to get your cost basis information if it isn't reported on this form.
