  Hey there! Reporting cryptocurrency income from Etsy on a 1099 form is a bit different compared to traditional income. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, so you'll need to calculate the fair market value of your earnings in US dollars at the time of each transaction. This can be a bit tricky due to the fluctuating prices of cryptocurrencies. Additionally, you'll need to determine whether your income should be classified as capital gains or ordinary income. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to make sure you're following the IRS guidelines and reporting your income correctly. Happy reporting! 😊
