We need to translate title: "Crypto Tax Reporting Guide for Traders & Affiliates" -> Chinese: "加密货币税务申报指南:交易者 & 关联营销者" perhaps. Keep "&" maybe "和". Could be "加密货币税务申报指南:交易者与联盟营销者". Let's decide.
Summary: "Learn how traders and crypto affiliates can accurately report cryptocurrency income, avoid penalties, and streamline tax compliance with practical tips and tools."
Chinese: "了解交易者和加密货币联盟如何准确申报加密货币收入,避免处罚,并通过实用技巧和工具简化税务合规。" Need under 160 characters. Let's count: Chinese characters count maybe ~70, fine.
Now translate entire article content preserving markdown tags.
We must translate headings, paragraphs, list items, table content, etc.
We'll translate everything into Chinese, preserving HTML tags like
,
,
- ,
- , , etc. Should we translate inside tags? Yes, translate the text but keep tags.
We need to be careful with code-like content: keep tags unchanged.
Let's produce.
We'll start with TITLE line.
Then SUMMARY line.
Then CONTENT: line then blank line? The format says:
CONTENT: translated article in markdown format
So after "CONTENT:" we put newline then the translated article.
We'll output exactly.
Now translate.
I'll go section by section.

Understanding Your Tax Obligations
1. Taxable Events
- Trading: Buying, selling, or swapping crypto triggers capital gains or losses.
- Income: Receiving crypto as payment for services, affiliate commissions, mining, staking, or airdrops is ordinary income at fair market value (FMV) on receipt.
- Dispositions: Using crypto to purchase goods or services is also a taxable event (treated as a sale).
Translate:
了解您的税务义务
1. 应税事件
- 交易:买入、卖出或兑换加密货币会触发资本收益或损失。
- 收入:以服务报酬、联盟佣金、挖矿、质押或空投形式获得的加密货币,在收到时按照公允市场价值(FMV)计为普通收入。
- 处置:使用加密货币购买商品或服务也属于应税事件(视为出售)。
Note: keep double spaces? Not needed.

2. Holding Periods Matter
- Short‑term (held ≤ 1 year): taxed at ordinary income rates.
- Long‑term (held > 1 year): taxed at preferential capital‑gain rates (0 %, 15 %, or 20 % depending on your income bracket).
Translate:
2. 持有期限很重要
- 短期(持有 ≤ 1 年):按普通收入税率征税。
- 长期(持有 > 1 年):按优惠资本利得税率征税(0 %、15 % 或 20 %,视您的收入档次而定)。

3. Affiliate‑Specific Rules
Affiliate earnings are treated as self‑employment income. You must report the FMV of any crypto received when the affiliate program credits your account, and you may owe self‑employment tax in addition to income tax.
Translate:
3. 联盟特定规则
联盟收入被视为自雇收入。您必须在联盟计划将加密货币记入您账户时,报告其公允市场价值(FMV),并且除了所得税外,可能还需缴纳自雇税。

Building a Reliable Tracking System
a. Choose a Consistent Method
- Wallet‑by‑wallet: Export CSV from each exchange or wallet.
- Portfolio tracker: Use a dedicated crypto tax software that aggregates data via API keys (read‑only) or file uploads.
Translate:
构建可靠的追踪系统
a. 选择一致的方法
- 钱包逐一:从每个交易所或钱包导出 CSV。
- 投资组合追踪器:使用专门的加密税务软件,通过 API 密钥(只读)或文件上传聚合数据。

b. Essential Data Points
Field Why It Matters Date & time (UTC) Determines holding period and FMV source Transaction type (buy, sell, trade, receive, send) Classifies event for gain/loss or income Asset symbol & quantity Needed for cost basis calculations Fiat value at transaction (USD, EUR, etc.) Sets FMV for income and proceeds for disposals Fees paid in crypto or fiat Adjusts cost basis or proceeds Counterparty address or exchange name Helpful for audit trails Translate table headers and cells.
We need to translate Field -> 字段, Why It Matters -> 重要性.
Then each row:
Date & time (UTC) -> 日期 & 时间 (UTC) Determines holding period and FMV source -> 决定持有期限和 FMV 来源
Transaction type (buy, sell, trade, receive, send) -> 交易类型(买入、卖出、交易、接收、发送) Classifies event for gain/loss or income -> 用于分类事件以计算收益/损失或收入
Asset symbol & quantity -> 资产符号 & 数量 Needed for cost basis calculations -> 计算成本基础所需
Fiat value at transaction (USD, EUR, etc.) -> 交易时的法币价值(USD、EUR 等) Sets FMV for income and proceeds for disposals -> 设定收入的 FMV 和处置的所得额
Fees paid in crypto or fiat -> 用加密货币或法币支付的费用 Adjusts cost basis or proceeds -> 调整成本基础或所得额
Counterparty address or exchange name -> 交易对方地址或交易所名称 Helpful for audit trails -> 有助于审计追踪
We'll keep the HTML entities & as is.
Thus:

c. Regular Reconciliation
- Weekly: Import new transactions, verify balances against exchange statements.
- Monthly: Run a preliminary gain/loss report to spot mismatches early.
- Quarterly: Export a summary for estimated tax payments if you expect to owe > $1,000.
Translate:
c. 定期对账
- 每周: 导入新交易,核对交易所对账单上的余额。
- 每月: 运行初步盈亏报告,及时发现不匹配。
- 每季度: 如果预计应纳税超过 1,000 美元,导出摘要用于估算税款。

Reporting for Traders
1. Calculating Gains/Losses
- Use FIFO (first‑in, first‑out) unless you can justify another method (specific identification, LIFO, etc.) and maintain documentation.
- Subtract your cost basis (including fees) from the proceeds (FMV at disposition minus fees).
Translate:
交易者的申报
1. 计算收益/损失
- 除非您能够证明另一种方法(特定识别、LIFO 等)并保存文件,否则应使用 FIFO(先进先出)。
- 用所得款项(处置时的 FMV 减去费用)减去成本基础(包括费用)。
Next:
2. Forms to File
- Form 8949: List each disposal with dates, proceeds, cost basis, and gain/loss.
- Schedule D: Summarize totals from Form 8949.
- Schedule C (if you qualify as a trader in securities): May allow deduction of certain expenses, but the IRS treats most crypto traders as investors, not traders, unless you meet strict criteria (substantial volume, regularity, and intent to profit from short‑term swings).
Translate:
2. 需要申报的表格
- 表格 8949:列出每次处置的日期、所得款项、成本基础
