2. Review and collect all related documents - Along with the Cash App tax documents, gather other records like bank statements, income slips, deductible expense receipts.

3. Calculate gains/losses from investments - For stocks/bitcoin, subtract purchase costs from sales proceeds to determine capital gains or losses for filing.

5. Complete tax forms Schedule D and Schedule 1 - Use Schedule D to report investment gains/losses. Use Schedule 1 for any miscellaneous income from cash payments.
