Air Drop, Bonus or Interest?

All types of transactions - bonus / reward, interest, airdrop, staking, minting, masternode, mining, income - are listed in the income report with the daily value of the coin and may have to be taxed.


In general one could say:

Airdrop are coins that you are given without any action (and sometimes involuntarily)

Bonus / Reward are rewards for actions such as questionnaires or advertising and often one-off payments

To receive interest you have to store coins on an exchange

For staking income you have to actively stake


For concrete examples this means:
