Account Owner / Account
For ingestion purposes, the only data point required to create/update an Account Owner is the Account ID. This allows you to add all of your users to the Dashboard, even while you may still be collecting additional information. There will be reports available in the Dashboard to let you know if something is missing for an Account that is eligible for a tax form.
The following table, however, summarizes the required fields needed to complete the Form 1099-DA.

Transactions or Form Data
For account activity, we can either collect raw transaction data, in which case Taxbit will complete the cost basis calculations to determine the ultimate data to report on the Form 1099. If you are not sending Transactions, then we also offer the option of sending us Form Data, which would include the final amounts that go on the form.
Transactions
For the Form 1099-DA, all of the transaction types we support are relevant, provided you support them on your platform. Note that not all transaction types are directly reported on the Form 1099-DA; however, to properly track cost basis and lots, all movement of digital assets in and out of the Account is typically needed.

Form Data
To the extent transactions are not being provided, the following data points must be provided for Form Data ingestion.
For stablecoins specifically, you can either complete the aggregation on your own by providing a single row with the aggregated amounts, or include separate line items for each disposition, similar to non-stablecoins, and Taxbit will complete the aggregation.
Note that a single Account may have multiple Form Data rows, one for each lot disposition.
