Can you explain to me what exactly a Coinbase 1099 is? I've heard the term being used in the cryptocurrency world, but I'm not entirely sure what it entails. Does it have something to do with taxes? If so, how does it affect cryptocurrency traders and investors? And is it necessary to file one if I've been trading on Coinbase? I'd appreciate a clear and concise explanation to help me understand this topic better.

The issuance of a Coinbase 1099 serves as a notification to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that a particular user is actively engaged in cryptocurrency trading activities.

While Coinbase offers a comprehensive gain/loss report to its users, it is important to note that the platform does not automatically file these reports with the IRS on behalf of its clients.
