Crypto Taxes
More than 10 percent of Americans traded crypto in the last year — if you’re one of them, you’re probably wondering how your trades and other crypto activity will impact your taxes.
U.S. taxpayers are now required to report crypto sales, conversions, payments, and income to the IRS and state tax authorities. Moreover, each of these transactions has different tax implications.
To determine if you owe taxes, look at how you used your crypto in the last year. Transactions that result in a tax are called taxable events. Those that don’t are called non-taxable events.
Here are a few examples of taxable events:
- Getting paid in crypto;
- Getting crypto in exchange for goods or services: If you accept crypto in payment for a good or service, you’re responsible for reporting it as income to the IRS;
- Mining crypto: If you mined crypto, you’d likely owe taxes on your earnings based on the fair market value (often the price) of the mined coins at the time they were received. Crypto mining as a business is taxed as self-employment income.
If you’re just holding crypto, good news — there is no immediate gain or loss, so the crypto is not taxed.
This is just a quick summary of a few of the key points to be aware of regarding crypto, but please let us know if you have specific questions before we prepare your return this year, and we will provide further advice.
