F8: Income reporting beyond a summary total #90

Description

@gfargo

⚑ Unverified finding — flagged during the audit as not fully confirmed: feature proposal, not a verified defect. Treat this as a lead to investigate, not a guaranteed defect.


IncomeSummary gives a total and a per-asset breakdown, but income never reaches a form. Staking
rewards, airdrops, and interest are ordinary income and belong on a return.

Proposed

  • Classify income by character (staking, mining, interest, airdrop, referral, hard fork, payment for
    services) — the classifier already distinguishes several of these
  • Route to the right destination and generate the corresponding output
  • Per-event detail export with date, asset, quantity, FMV, and price provenance
  • Reconcile against exchange 1099-MISC/1099-INT where available
  • Also fixes the gap in B24 (USD-denominated income)

Extracted from a repo audit performed 2026-07 (the audit doc it came from was proposed via an unmerged docs PR).
