Information returns are tax documents filed with a tax authority to report certain types of income, payments, or transactions, rather than to calculate a tax liability directly. In the digital asset space, these forms typically report sales, exchanges, and other dispositions of cryptocurrencies. They assist tax authorities in verifying income and capital gains reported by taxpayers. These returns are a key tool for tax compliance.
