The IRS 1099-K and 1099-B are tax forms that broker-dealers (and some cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, etc.) generate. They keep one copy for themself, send one copy to you (the user), and one copy to the IRS. This form essentially shows aggregate transaction volume per month.
Aggregate transaction volume is a completely different number than capital gains, which is what is needed to file your taxes on IRS Form 8949 (which is what is generated by CoinTracker). The 1099-K or 1099-B helps the IRS understand which are high transaction users, however, those numbers are not actually used in your tax filing.
