I received some airdrops recently and I'm wondering if I need to pay taxes on them. Are airdrops considered as income and therefore taxable, or are they treated differently? I'm trying to understand the tax implications of receiving airdrops.

To determine the amount of income received, taxpayers should use the fair market value of the coins or tokens on the day they were received.

This value should be calculated accurately to ensure that the correct amount of tax is paid.

The income received from airdrops should be reported as "other income" on Form 1040 Schedule 1.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers airdrops as a taxable form of income.

This means that individuals who receive airdrops are required to pay income tax on them.
