We need to translate the title: "Crypto Tax Reporting: Essential Guide for Traders and Affiliates" -> Chinese: "加密货币税务申报：交易者和联盟成员必备指南" or similar.

Summary: "Learn the key tax reporting rules, record‑keeping tips, and compliance strategies every crypto trader and affiliate needs to stay IRS‑ready." Chinese: "了解每位加密货币交易者和联盟成员必须掌握的关键税务申报规则、记录保存技巧和合规策略，以确保符合IRS要求。" Must be under 160 characters. Count roughly: Chinese characters count? Likely okay.

Now translate the entire article content into Chinese, preserving markdown headings etc. Must be natural, not literal word-for-word. We'll translate paragraphs, lists, tables, etc. Ensure markdown syntax remains.

We'll produce Chinese translation.

Let's translate sections.

Introduction:

"Cryptocurrency trading and affiliate marketing have exploded in popularity, but the tax implications remain confusing for many. Whether you’re buying and selling tokens on exchanges or earning referral commissions, the IRS treats crypto as property. That means every transaction can trigger a taxable event. This guide breaks down the reporting requirements you must follow and shares best‑practice habits to keep your records audit‑ready."

Chinese: "加密货币交易和联盟营销近年来迅速走红，但税务影响对许多人来说仍然令人困惑。无论是在交易所买卖代币，还是通过推荐获得佣金，IRS 都将加密货币视为财产。这意味着每笔交易都可能产生应税事件。本指南将详细说明您必须遵循的申报要求，并分享保持记录审计就绪的最佳实践。"

List items:

• Capital gains/losses: When you sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of crypto, you calculate the difference between your cost basis (what you paid, including fees) and the fair market value at the time of disposition.

Chinese: "资本收益/损失：当您出售、交易或以其他方式处置加密货币时，需要计算您的成本基础（您支付的金额，包含手续费）与处置时的公平市场价值之间的差额。"

• Ordinary income: Income received as staking rewards, mining payouts, or affiliate commissions is taxed as ordinary income at the fair market value when you receive it.

Chinese: "普通收入：您通过质押奖励、挖矿收益或联盟佣金获得的收入，在收到时按公平市场价值计税为普通收入。"
