How are Trezor transactions taxed?

The tax that applies to your Trezor transactions depends on the specific transaction and your country's rules on crypto tax. This said, generally speaking, there's two taxes that might apply to your crypto:

  • Capital Gains Tax: Whenever you sell, trade or spend crypto via Trezor, you'll likely pay Capital Gains Tax on any profit from that transaction.
  • Income Tax: If you're earning new tokens and receiving them in your Trezor wallet - whether that's staking rewards, mining rewards, or any other kind of income - you'll likely pay Income Tax based on the fair market value of new tokens or coins on the day you receive them, in your fiat currency.

Does Trezor provide tax documents?

No. Trezor does not provide tax documents or reports. Instead, you'll need to get your Trezor transaction history, identify your taxable transactions and calculate your capital gains and income. Better still, use a crypto tax calculator like Koinly to do it for you.

Does Trezor report to tax offices?

Trezor is a non-custodial wallet with no KYC, making it a secure and private wallet. In other words, it's very unlikely Trezor are sharing data with the IRS or any other tax office for that matter.

This said, if you've moved assets from your Trezor wallet to centralized crypto exchanges, many of these exchanges are legally compelled to share data with the IRS and other tax offices - potentially including your Trezor address.
