Crypto Taxes USA: Expert Guide 2024

How is crypto taxed? How to report crypto on taxes? Our October 2024 guide simplifies IRS rules to help you file your crypto capital gains and income with confidence.

This guide is regularly updated

Do you have to pay taxes on Bitcoin and crypto?

Yes, you'll pay tax on cryptocurrency gains and income in the US. The IRS is clear that crypto may be subject to Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax, depending on the specific transaction you've made.

In short, if you sell your cryptocurrency or use it to buy something and it's worth more than when you bought it, you'll need to pay taxes on the profit. This is because the value has changed, resulting in a gain or loss. Also, if you get cryptocurrency as payment for your business, you have to pay taxes on it like it's income from your business.

How much is crypto taxed in the USA?

The amount of tax you'll pay on crypto in the USA depends on how much you earn, the specific transaction, and how long you've held the asset.

  • Up to 37% tax on short-term capital gains and crypto income

  • Between 0% to 20% tax on long-term capital gains

  • NFTs deemed collectibles may be taxed at 28%

Can the IRS track crypto?

Yes - the IRS can track crypto. So if you're asking yourself 'do I have to pay taxes on my crypto gains?' 'Are airdrops traceable?' Or 'does the IRS know about my crypto investments?' Stop right there.

  • All major crypto exchanges must now complete KYC (Know Your Customer) checks.

  • Exchanges process banking information where they accept fiat payments in exchange for crypto.

  • Many exchanges also have records of crypto addresses you've withdrawn funds to - so they can identify custodial wallets too.

  • Exchanges can track the crypto addresses to which you've withdrawn funds, identifying custodial wallets.

  • The IRS has won cases against Coinbase, Kraken, and Poloniex, forcing them to share customer data.

  • The IRS has hired two private sector crypto experts for the 2024 tax season, using the funding from the Inflation Reduction Act.

The IRS has now levied its first charges for solely crypto tax evasion as of March 2024. You can learn more about 1099 forms, Coinbase and the IRS, John Doe Summons, and how the IRS tracks crypto in our blogs.

How is crypto taxed in the US?

Because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are viewed as property from a tax perspective there are two potential taxes that could apply for individuals - Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax. The cryptocurrency tax you'll pay depends on the type of transactions you're making with your crypto. We'll look at both.

How's crypto taxed in the US

Capital Gains Tax & crypto

Because crypto is viewed as a capital asset from a tax perspective, anytime you dispose of crypto, you may need to pay Capital Gains Tax. There are a few ways you can dispose of your cryptocurrency in the US:

  • Selling crypto for fiat currency.

  • Trading crypto for crypto (including stablecoins, tokens, and more!)

  • Spending crypto on goods or services.

You’ll pay Capital Gains Tax on any capital gain (profit) you made as a result of a disposal.

Crypto Capital Gains Tax rates

There isn't a specific crypto Capital Gains Tax rate - it's based on the general Capital Gains Tax rules. The Capital Gains Tax rate you'll pay on your crypto depends on how long you've held your asset and how much you earn. If you've held crypto for less than a year, you'll pay the short-term Capital Gains Tax rate. If you've held crypto for more than a year, you'll pay the long-term Capital Gains Tax rate.

Federal Income Tax rates

For short-term capital gains, you'll pay the same tax rate as you do on your taxable income. This is based on the Federal Income Tax rate brackets. For the 2023 tax year - the Federal Income Tax rates are:

Capital Gains Tax rate

Meanwhile, long-term Capital Gains Tax for crypto is lower for most taxpayers. You'll pay a 0%, 15%, or 20% tax rate depending on your taxable income. If you earn less than $44,626 including your crypto (for the 2023 tax year) then you'll pay no long-term Capital Gains Tax at all.

It's important to note that for NFTs deemed collectibles, you may pay a higher 28% tax on long-term gains. We'll cover this in more depth shortly.

How to calculate crypto capital gains

When you sell, trade, or spend crypto, it triggers a capital gain or loss. A profit leads to a capital gain, while a loss means a capital loss. To calculate your gain or loss:

Determine your cost basis, which includes the purchase price and any associated fees. If the crypto was a gift, use its fair market value in USD on the day you received it.

An infographic with a calculator and sum explaining how to calculate crypto cost basis, presented by Koinly, a crypto tax calculatorSubtract the cost basis from the sale price to find your gain or loss.

An infographic highlighting information on how to calculate a crypto gain, presented by Koinly, a crypto tax softwareIf you have a gain, you'll pay Capital Gains Tax on that gain.

If you have a loss, you won't pay Capital Gains Tax - but you do want to keep track of these because you can offset capital losses against gains - more on this later.

Example

You bought 1 BTC in Feb 2021 for $33,660 (including a 2% fee). You sold it in Oct 2021 for $60,000. The sale minus the cost ($60,000 - $33,660) equals a $26,340 capital gain. If held for less than a year, this gain is taxed at the short-term rate, the same as your income tax rate.

With a $90,000 annual income in 2021, you're taxed at 24%. Your $26,340 crypto gain doesn't bump you to a higher bracket, so you owe 24% on that gain, totalling $6,322 in taxes.

USA crypto cost basis method

Understanding cost basis can seem straightforward until you handle multiple transactions. For instance, if you bought 1 Bitcoin (BTC) for $4,000 in 2019 and another for $20,000 in 2020, then sold one in 2021 for $30,000, your capital gain could vary. Using the 2019 purchase for calculation, your gain is $26,000; but with the 2020 purchase, it's $10,000.

So how do you know which to use?

This is where cost basis accounting methods come in. These methods dictate the way you calculate cost basis for a given financial year.

It's good news for American crypto investors because the IRS allows multiple cost basis methods - and these can have a big impact on your crypto tax bill. The IRS allows:

  • First In First Out (FIFO): the first asset you bought is the first asset you sell.

  • Last In First Out (LIFO): the last asset you bought is the first asset you sell.

  • Highest In First Out (HIFO): the most expensive asset you bought is sold first.

  • Specific Identification (Spec ID): pick the asset you sold, provided you can identify it with records.

It's really important to note that under the current draft instructions for form 1099-DA, it will become mandatory to use wallet-based cost tracking from the 2025 financial year. Of course, you can still utilize a preferred cost basis method within Spec ID by disposing of your assets in a given order, your transaction records will need to match this. For investors making a lot of transfers between exchanges and wallets, this means a big change for the 2025 financial year.

Which cost basis method?

The accounting method you select, such as FIFO or LIFO, can greatly affect your crypto tax bill. Looking at our last example, using FIFO could result in taxes on a $26,000 profit, while LIFO might only show a $10,000 profit. Our guide explains these methods in detail—there's no universal right choice, as the best method depends on your specific situation to potentially reduce your taxes.

Cryptocurrency tax breaks

American crypto investors can benefit from a few tax free allowances that can help them pay a little less tax on their crypto:

Crypto tax breaks USA

  1. Gifting crypto under $17,000: You can gift up to $17,000 in crypto per person tax-free. This is known as the annual gift tax exclusion. This can help you take advantage of lower Income Tax rates in your household to pay less tax overall. If you gift over this amount, provided you're under the lifetime gift tax exemption of $12.92 million in 2023 - you won't need to pay gift tax. However, you may need to file Form 709 (more on this below).

  2. Capital Gains Tax Free Allowance: If you earned less than $44,626 in 2023 in total income (including your crypto gains) you'll pay no Capital Gains Tax on long-term gains.

  3. Long-term Capital Gains Tax Rate: If you HODL your crypto for more than a year, you'll pay a lower long-term Capital Gains Tax rate of between 0% to 20% depending on how much you earn.

Crypto capital losses

You don't owe taxes on crypto losses but you can use these losses to lower your tax on gains, in a strategy called 'tax loss harvesting'. Match long-term losses with long-term gains and short-term with short-term to reduce your taxes. After offsetting gains with the same type of losses, any remaining losses can be used to offset other gains. Special rules apply for losses on collectible NFTs, which must be used in a specific order.

When handling crypto losses, consider these scenarios:

  1. If you're in a crypto bear market with losses but have stock market gains, use the crypto losses to offset your stock gains, lowering your overall tax liability.

  2. If you don't have gains to offset and only have crypto losses, you can reduce your ordinary income by up to $3,000. Any unapplied losses can be carried forward to future tax years until they're fully used.

  3. If you prefer to plan ahead and expect significant gains in the future, you might choose not to offset your losses this year. Instead, carry forward the losses to counterbalance future gains and reduce taxes when those gains are realized.

Learn more in our Tax Loss Harvesting Guide.

Crypto P&L USThe IRS has released guidance clarifying its stance for taxpayers with crypto assets worth less than $0.01 - and if you're one of the unfortunate investors left with effectively worthless tokens like UST, it's not good news. The IRS states that no loss deduction is allowed for crypto assets that have devalued to less than $0.01. Without an actual sale or disposal, even "worthless or abandoned" assets don't qualify for a loss claim.

Tax on lost or stolen crypto

The IRS does not let crypto investors claim lost or stolen crypto as a capital loss, so if you've lost your crypto due to a hack, scam or because you've lost your private keys - you're out of luck.

Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, crypto investors could claim theft and casualty losses as a capital loss. Losses that occurred prior to 2017 may be deductible as long as you can prove ownership of the assets and can provide a declaration or receipt of some kind from the exchange which specifies how much you lost in the hack.

So if you lose crypto - whether that's from losing your private keys or to a scammer - the best thing you can do is simply write it off and disregard it from your calculations entirely. Learn more in our lost & stolen crypto guide.

Stolen or lost crypto US

Crypto Income Tax USA

Now we've covered capital gains, let's look at when your crypto might be taxed as income instead. There are many crypto transactions that can be viewed as income and subject to Income Tax. The simplest way to look at this is any time you're seen to be 'earning' crypto, it'll be subject to Income Tax instead of Capital Gains Tax.

Income tax USThe IRS provides guidelines on when cryptocurrency counts as income rather than a capital gain. But since the rules aren't very detailed yet, you should consult a crypto tax accountant for specific advice. Transactions that are viewed as additional income include:

  • Getting paid in crypto.

  • Mining crypto - on a hobby level.

  • Receiving an airdrop.

  • Receiving new coins from a hard fork.

  • Staking rewards.

  • Referral bonuses.

  • Earning interest through lending protocols.

  • Earning new liquidity pool tokens, governance, or reward tokens on DeFi protocols.

  • Learn to earn rewards.

  • Watch to earn rewards.

  • Browse to earn rewards.

  • GameFi rewards.

How to calculate crypto income

Crypto income is easy to calculate - although time-consuming if you have regular income! Just take the fair market value of the crypto you received in USD on the day you received it. This is the amount you earned and the amount you'll pay tax on at your Federal Income Tax rate, as well as potentially your State Income Tax rate.

Is any crypto tax free?

Let's start with the good news - not all crypto transactions are taxed in the USA.

Tax free crypto USYou won't pay tax on crypto when:

  • Buying crypto with fiat currency.

  • HODLing crypto.

  • Moving crypto between your own wallets.

  • Gifting crypto - provided you haven't reached the lifetime gift limit.

  • Donating crypto to charity is tax deductible - although you may need a qualified appraisal if you're donating more than $5,000.

  • Creating an NFT.

When do you have to pay taxes on crypto?

Both the reporting and payment deadline is April 15, 2024.

The US tax year is from January 1 to December 31. Your 2023 crypto taxes are due by April 15, 2024.

If you're a US expat, you have until June 15, 2024.

If you filed for an extension to file your taxes using Free File or Form 4868, you'll automatically have an extension until October 15. Learn more about how to file an IRS tax extension.

How to report crypto in your tax return

You file your crypto taxes with your annual tax return - but you'll need a few other forms to do so. You can see our complete guide on filing your crypto taxes with the IRS, but in short:

  • Report crypto disposals, capital gains and losses on: Form Schedule D (1040) and Form 8949.

  • Report crypto income on: Form Schedule 1 (1040) or Form Schedule C (1040).

  • You can do this with paper forms or through a tax app like TurboTax or TaxAct. We'll walk you through both.

Update 2024

The IRS has released the 2023 tax return (Form 1040 2022). The form now includes a dedicated 'digital assets' section. This section contains an extended question from last year's tax return, "At any time during 2022, did you (a) receive (as a reward, award, or payment for property or services); or (b) sell, exchange, gift, or otherwise dispose of a digital asset (or a financial interest in a digital asset)?".

As well as this, under more recent guidance, crypto brokers - potentially including both centralized and decentralized exchanges, payment processors, and even some online wallets - would be required to issue the new Form 1099-DA to both users and the IRS.

The second draft of the 1099-DA form was released in August 2024, with drafted instructions for the form released in September 2024. If the proposal goes ahead, businesses viewed as crypto brokers would be required to begin issuing 1099-DA forms from January 2026 to report on users' gains and losses from the 2025 financial year. You can read our dedicated Form 1099-DA guide to understand the requirements (and problems) with the form.

How to calculate your crypto taxes

  1. Figure out which of your crypto activities are taxable and what kind of tax applies (income or capital gains).

  2. Work out your profits, losses, and any income from those activities.

  3. File your taxes using your preferred method, like paper forms, using a tax app like TurboTax, or with help from an accountant.

For detailed IRS guidelines on crypto taxes and a breakdown of which activities are taxed, refer to our comprehensive guide.

If you're calculating your crypto taxes manually:

  • List all your taxable crypto transactions for the year.

  • Determine whether each is taxed as income or capital gains.

  • Find the original cost of each crypto transaction (cost basis).

  • Calculate your gains, losses, and income.

  • Report all this to the IRS.

How to file crypto taxes with paper forms

Still sticking to pen and paper filing? No worries, Koinly can help. Read our in-depth guide on IRS crypto tax forms. It covers:

The IRS has released a statement reminding taxpayers that everyone filing their tax return must answer the digital asset question that appears on Forms 1040, 1040-SR, and 1040-NR. This question has also been added to Forms 1041, 1065, 1120, and 1220S.

Depending on the form, it reads, “At any time during 2023, did you: (a) receive (as a reward, award or payment for property or services); or (b) sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of a digital asset (or a financial interest in a digital asset)?”. Regardless of whether a taxpayer has invested in crypto or not, they must answer the question.

What's Form 8300 for crypto transactions over $10,000?

As of January 16, 2024, the IRS has clarified that businesses with certain digital transactions do not need to report using Form 8300 until further regulations and guidance are issued. Prior to this, the industry was in a panic over a new tax reporting law that came into effect on January 1, 2024, stating persons involved in a trade or business will need to report over $10,000 received through Form 8300.

While the form itself wasn't new,  the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act specified that “anyone who receives $10,000 or more in cryptocurrency in the course of their trade or business to make a report to the IRS about that transaction.”

However, when this broad rule is applied to crypto, it is often difficult to collect all the information necessary to file due to the pseudonymous nature of cryptocurrency transactions. The IRS hasn't yet clarified the grey areas around this legislation, and as such, has stated businesses with crypto transactions over $10,000 do not need to file Form 8300 until further guidance is issued. We'll update this guide as soon as the IRS releases more information.

Do you pay tax when you buy crypto in the US?

Yes and no. It all depends on what you're buying your crypto with as to whether you'll pay tax. Let's break it down.

Buying crypto with USD

TAX FREE

You're not taxed when you buy crypto with fiat currency - like USD - in the US.

However, it's really important you keep records of your crypto transactions. This is so you can keep a detailed account of your cost base, so you can later calculate your crypto capital gains and losses accurately when you later dispose of crypto assets.

An infographic detailing how buying crypto is tax free, presented by Koinly, a crypto tax calculator

Buy and HODL crypto

TAX FREE

HODLer? Good news, if you're simply buying and HODLing crypto, you don't need to pay tax even if the value of your crypto increases. You'll only have a taxable event when you sell, trade, or spend that crypto.

Is trading one cryptocurrency for another a taxable event?

Swapping one crypto for another and thinking you'll avoid paying tax? Think again. Swapping crypto for crypto is taxable.

Swapping crypto for crypto

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Wondering if crypto to crypto is taxable or whether you pay taxes on crypto trades? The answer is a resounding yes.

If you're buying your crypto with another cryptocurrency, for example, buying ETH with BTC - this is a taxable event in the USA. The IRS views this as two separate transactions. Let's use the example above - you want to buy ETH with BTC.

The IRS sees this as you disposing of your BTC. You're then buying ETH at market value. Even though you never received any fiat currency, you still need to pay tax on the sale of the BTC - not the purchase of the ETH.

To calculate your capital gain in this example, you'd use the cost base of your BTC and subtract it from the fair market value of BTC on the day you bought ETH. If you eventually sell the ETH, your cost basis will be the market value of ETH on the day you made the trade.

Crypto to crypto is taxable US

Buying crypto with stablecoins

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Buying crypto with stablecoins is viewed the same way as swapping crypto for another crypto - so any gain is subject to Capital Gains Tax.

Of course, you may not actually pay any tax on this specific transaction. This is because your cost base and your disposal value are likely to be the same - because stablecoins are pegged by a reserve asset like USD. So for example, let's say you wanted to buy 0.5 BTC with USDT. The price of 0.5 BTC the day you want to buy it is $20,000. As USDT is pegged to the dollar, it'll cost you roughly 20,000 USDT plus fees. Your cost basis for the USDT is likely to also be around $20,000 - so you won't have a capital gain or loss from the transaction.

Despite this, you'll still need to record and report these transactions to the IRS as taxable events.

An infographic detailing how buying crypto with stablecoins is subject to CGT, presented by Koinly, a crypto tax calculator

Do you pay tax when you sell crypto in the US?

Yes - you'll pay tax when you sell crypto in the US. But the amount you pay will vary depending on how long you've held your asset and your regular income. You'll pay short-term Capital Gains Tax on crypto held for under a year and long-term Capital Gains Tax on crypto you've held for more than a year.

Selling crypto is taxable US

Selling crypto for USD

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Selling crypto for fiat currency like USD is a taxable event according to the IRS. If you sell your crypto asset for fiat currency after owning it for less than a year, you'll pay short-term Capital Gains Tax. This will be at the same tax rate as your Income Tax rate. If you sell your crypto asset for fiat currency after owning it for more than a year, you'll pay long-term Capital Gains Tax. The amount you pay will depend on how much you earn in regular income, but you'll pay anywhere between 0% to 20%.

Example

You bought 2 ETH in November 2020 valued at $1,200.

You sell 1 ETH in July 2021 for $3,500 and need to pay short-term Capital Gains Tax on your profit at your regular Income Tax rate..

$3,500 - $600 = $2,900. This is your capital gain.

You earn $60,000 in the 2021 financial year, putting you in the 22% tax rate bracket - so a total of $638 in tax.

You sell another 1 ETH in December 2021 for $4,000 and need to pay long-term Capital Gains Tax on your profit.

$4,000 - $600 = $3,400. This is your capital gain.

You earn more than $41,676 and less than $445,850 - so you'll pay 15% tax on $3,400, a total of $510.

So even though you made a larger capital gain from your second transaction - you paid less tax thanks to the long-term Capital Gains Tax rate.

Selling crypto for crypto

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Selling your crypto for another crypto is viewed exactly the same as selling your crypto for a fiat currency. It doesn't matter which cryptocurrency you're selling it for - whether it's a stablecoin or an altcoin - it's still a taxable event. You'll pay Capital Gains Tax on any capital gain you make from the transaction - though the amount of time you've held your crypto prior to selling matters as this will dictate the tax rate you pay.

Do you pay tax when transferring crypto?

The IRS has confirmed that when you're moving crypto around between your own wallets - this isn't seen as a disposal and you don't need to report it or pay Capital Gains Tax. However, nothing is quite so straightforward in the world of crypto, and transactions like adding and removing liquidity may get a little more confusing from a tax perspective.

Moving crypto between wallets

TAX FREE

Moving crypto between your own wallets is a tax free event. You don't need to record these or report them to the IRS.

An infographic highlighting information on how transferring crypto between your wallets is tax free, presented by Koinly, a crypto tax softwareHaving said that, it's important to keep track of these transactions because if you're paying a transfer fee in crypto - this may be subject to Capital Gains Tax.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Chances are if you're transferring crypto from one wallet to another - you may pay a transfer fee for the privilege. If you're paying this in fiat currency, this is tax free. However, more often than not you're going to be paying for this transfer fee in cryptocurrency. In other words, you're spending crypto. This is a taxable event and you’ll have to work out if you’ve made a profit. So while transfers are tax free, transfer fees are not if you paid the fee in cryptocurrency. You'll need to calculate your cost basis and capital gain or loss.

The IRS has not yet issued clear guidance on whether transfer fees could be added to the cost base of an asset. While transaction fees definitely can be, it is unclear whether transfer fees would fall into the category of maintaining an asset - which is not allowable as part of a cost basis.

Example

You bought 1 ETH for $4,385.

You move your ETH from your Binance wallet to your MetaMask wallet. You're charged a flat fee of 0.005 ETH to do so.

You're paying in ETH - so you're disposing of your cryptocurrency. So you need to calculate your cost basis and the fair market value of your crypto at the point of disposal. To keep it simple, let's say the price of ETH hasn't changed since you bought it.

0.005 ETH = $21.90. This is your disposal - you need to report this to the IRS as a disposal, regardless of the fact you have no capital gain or loss. Of course, doing this for every transaction can be time-consuming, but Koinly can help you do this with our "treat transfer fees as disposals" setting.

Adding and removing liquidity

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

If you're adding or removing liquidity from various DeFi protocols, on the surface, this doesn't look like a taxable event. You're not disposing of your crypto and these transactions are more akin to a transfer.

However, if you receive a token in exchange for your share in the liquidity pool, this could be viewed as a crypto-to-crypto trade and subject to Capital Gains Tax. Each DeFi protocol works slightly differently - your best bet here is to speak to an experienced crypto accountant to ensure you remain tax compliant.

How are airdrops and forks taxed in the US?

Airdrops and hard forks are taxed as income in the US - so you'll pay Income Tax. The bad news keeps on coming because when you later dispose of a crypto asset you received through an airdrop or hard fork - you'll also pay Capital Gains Tax.

Airdrops tax US

Receiving an airdrop

INCOME TAX

The IRS has been quite clear that when you receive an airdrop, you'll pay Income Tax. To figure out how much Income Tax you need to pay, calculate the fair market value of your airdropped crypto on the day you receive it and apply your income tax rate.

Example

You receive 200 1INCH tokens from an airdrop. On the day you receive them, the fair market value per token is $3.50. Your tokens are subject to Income Tax, so you need to calculate their total worth.

$3.50 x 200 = $700. You've made additional income of $700. You earn $60,000 a year, putting you in the 22% Income Tax rate bracket. You'll pay 22% tax on $700, so a total of $154.

Selling or trading coins from an airdrop

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

You've already paid Income Tax on your airdropped coins and you later decide you want to sell them so you can invest in something else.

Airdropped coins or tokens are viewed exactly the same way as any other cryptocurrency from a tax perspective, so you'll pay Capital Gains Tax when you later dispose of airdropped crypto by selling it, trading it, or spending it.

Your cost base for your airdropped coins will be the fair market value on the day you received them. We'll use the same example as above to explain.

Example

You sell your 200 airdropped 1INCH tokens a couple of days after. The fair market value per token is $4, so your proceeds are $800. You already know your cost basis is $700.

$800 - $700 = $100. You've made a capital gain of $100. You'll pay the short-term Capital Gains Tax rate as you haven't held your asset for more than a year. This is your regular Income Tax rate of 22%. You'll pay 22% on $100, so a total of $22.

Soft fork

TAX FREE

You won't pay any tax as a result of a soft fork because you won't receive any new coins or tokens as a result of a soft fork. So you don't have any income to recognize from a tax perspective.

Hard fork

INCOME TAX & CAPITAL GAINS TAX

The IRS is very clear that an airdrop of new cryptocurrency following a hard fork is taxable income and you'll pay Income Tax on receipt based on the fair market value (in USD), as well as Capital Gains Tax for a gain from any disposal later on.

Tax on hard forks USOn the day you receive your new coins, you'll pay Income Tax. Like with airdrops, to calculate the amount of income, you'll identify the fair market value of the coins or tokens on the day you received them. This figure is also your cost basis.

When you later spend, sell, or trade coins from a hard fork, you'll pay Capital Gains Tax. Your cost basis is the fair market value of the coins or tokens on the day you received them.

Example

You received 1 BCH in 2017 when it split from BTC. Your cost basis for this new coin is $365 as that was the fair market value of 1 BCH on the day you received it.

You earn $60,000, so you're in the 22% tax rate bracket. You'll pay Income Tax of 22% on $365, so $81.

You later sell 1 BCH a few months later for $2,000. Subtract your cost basis from your sale price to figure out your capital gain.

$2,000 - $365 = $1,635. This is your capital gain. You'll pay short-term Capital Gains Tax at the same rate you pay Income Tax, so 22% of $1,635 = $360.

Crypto gifts and donations tax

It's good news for US crypto investors when it comes to giving the gift of crypto or spreading the love with a crypto donation. In most instances, these events are tax free and even tax deductible.

Crypto gifts and donations US

Giving a crypto gift

TAX FREE

American taxpayers enjoy an annual $17,000 gift tax exclusion. This allowance is per person, so you can give multiple gifts up to the limit to different people. You can also give multiple crypto gifts to the same person, provided the total amount is less than the limit of $17,000 for 2023.

Gifts valued at more than $17,000 would potentially subject you to gift taxes of 40% of the amount over $17,000, but only if you have also exceeded the lifetime exclusion of $12.92 million in 2023. You may also need to file a Form 709 if you gift more than the allowance.

Gifting crypto is a ‘non-recognition’ event for Capital Gains Tax purposes, meaning there is no capital gains tax owed by the person making the gift. Rather, the cost basis is inherited by the recipient which will be used to calculate capital gains if they eventually sell the asset.

Receiving a crypto gift

TAX FREE

The good news keeps on coming because whoever you gift your crypto to also doesn't need to pay tax on receipt of the gift. The recipient will inherit the cost basis of the crypto when they're given the gift, so if you're sending a gift, make sure to send this information over to them too. If you don't have this information yourself, then their cost basis will be the fair market value of the gift on the day they receive it.

Selling a crypto gift

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

You'll pay Capital Gains Tax if you dispose of your gifted crypto by selling it, trading it, or spending it.

The cost base of gifted crypto is inherited. This means the recipient takes on the cost base of the original asset from the donor. The donor must provide the acquisition info - if they do, the cost basis of the donor can be inherited by the gift receiver. If no documentation to support the donor’s basis, the basis is zero according to IRS guidance.

Donating crypto

TAX FREE

The IRS is clear that when you donate crypto to a registered charitable organization - you won't realize a capital gain or loss, so you won't pay Capital Gains Tax.

You can even claim charitable donations as a tax deduction. Your charitable contribution deduction will be the fair market value of the crypto on the day you donated it.

However, in the United States, check a charity's 501(c)3 status with the IRS' exempt organization database. A charity must have 501(c)3 status if you plan to deduct your donation on your federal taxes. If you're donating more than $500, you'll need to fill out Form 8283 when filing your crypto taxes. As well as this, the IRS is clear that if you're donating more than $5,000 in crypto - you'll need a qualified appraisal in order to apply a deduction.

However, the Income Tax benefits of non-cash donations differ to the tax benefits of cash donations and any donations of crypto will be considered non-cash donations, including stablecoins.

If you donate cash to a qualified organization, you can deduct the full value of the donation up to 60% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Any unused amounts can be carried forward to the following 5 tax years.

If you donate property, you can deduct between 20% and 50% of your adjusted gross income - the amount depends on the type of organization.

For 2021, there was an enhanced deduction available of up to 100% of AGI​ for cash donations to qualifying organizations. This was a temporary measure as part of the CARES Act; the standard deduction rules applied again in 2022.

Because of the enhanced deduction available for cash donations, a taxpayer may wish to cash out their crypto first before donating in fiat. Whether this would be preferable from a tax perspective will depend on the potential Capital Gains Tax owed on the cash-out.

Mining crypto tax

The IRS is quite clear that crypto mining is subject to Income Tax, as well as Capital Gains Tax when you later dispose of mined coins.

Tax on crypto mining USIt's important to note that if you're self-employed and running a crypto mining business, you'll also need to pay Self Employment Tax to cover your Medicare and Social Security contributions.

As well as this, Biden's proposed fiscal budget for 2025 includes a crypto mining excise tax. This isn't in force and it's been proposed in previous budgets, so we'll keep a close eye on this and update it as soon as we know more.

Mining crypto

INCOME TAX

Any crypto you receive as a result of mining - you'll pay Income Tax based on the fair market value of the crypto on the day you received it. You'll also pay Capital Gains Tax if you later sell, trade, or spend any crypto you received as a result of mining activities.

Staking crypto taxes

Confusing - the term staking gets used interchangeably in crypto. It can refer to both DeFi lending and proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies.

Staking as part of a PoS consensus mechanism

Some cryptocurrencies - like Polkadot, Solana, Avalanche, and Cardano - use a PoS consensus mechanism. In a PoS consensus mechanism, you ‘stake’ your crypto to earn a reward. It's very similar to mining crypto as part of a PoW mechanism - a network participant gets selected to add the latest batch of transactions to the blockchain and earn crypto in exchange.

DeFi staking

On the other hand, DeFi lending lets you lend your crypto through a given protocol - like Aave - and receive interest in the form of crypto from borrowers on the other side of the transaction. DeFi lending is much more comparable to a typical lending arrangement whereby you provide capital in return for interest, with the interest rewards being taxable as income, although it depends on the way the protocol works. If you earn new tokens, Income Tax is likely to apply. Whereas if you deposit capital and receive tokens (LP tokens) that accrue value in return, this may be viewed as a crypto to crypto trade and therefore it is more likely Capital Gains Tax would apply.

IRS staking guidance

INCOME TAX

As of July 31, 2023, the IRS has finally updated its guidance clarifying that staking rewards are taxable income when received. Therefore your staking rewards will be subject to Income Tax upon receipt based on the fair market value in USD at the point they're received.

'When received' in this instance is key - especially for ETH stakers. The guidance clarifies that 'when received' in this instance means when the taxpayer has 'dominion and control' over the assets - so when the rewards are unlocked and stakers are able to sell their rewards.

Remember, if you later dispose of your staking rewards by selling, swapping, or spending them - you'll still pay Capital Gains Tax on any gain.

Bitcoin casino taxes

INCOME TAX

There is no clear guidance on how crypto gambling is taxed. Gambling winnings gained at crypto and bitcoin casinos are presumed to be subject to both Federal and State Income Tax. Read more about the latest thinking on how crypto taxes might be taxed in the US.

Crypto margin trading, futures, and other CFDs

The tax for crypto trading such as margin trading, futures, and other CFDs is a little complicated, so let's break down the taxes on crypto trading.

Margin trading, futures, and other CFDs

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

If you're seen to be trading as an individual investor - you'll pay Capital Gains Tax on profits from margin trades, futures, and other CFDs. So when you open a position, you won't pay tax. It's only when you close your position that you'll realize a capital gain or loss and pay Capital Gains Tax. The same short-term and long-term Capital Gains Tax rates apply to these transactions.

When it comes to crypto futures in particular - if you're trading regulated crypto futures, these have a more favorable tax treatment. This is because of the IRS 60/40 rule. This rule states that when investors trade regulated futures, 60% of capital gains are taxed as long-term gains, and 40% of capital gains are taxed as short-term gains regardless of how long you keep the position open. Of course, the majority of crypto futures products are unregulated so this rule would not apply, but for those trading at scale, it is well worth investigating regulated crypto futures products to benefit from this tax treatment.

In the instance of liquidation - when your collateral is sold - this is a disposal from a tax perspective and therefore should be reported to the IRS.

DeFi crypto taxes USA

DeFi is still pretty new and it's constantly evolving, offering investors new opportunities to make money. All this to say, the IRS hasn't yet issued clear guidance on specific DeFi transactions and how they're seen from a tax perspective.

Don't jump for joy just yet. That doesn't mean you won't pay any taxes on your DeFi transactions. Instead, investors need to look at the current guidance on crypto transactions and infer the likely tax on their DeFi transactions.

So you'll still pay either no tax, Income Tax, or Capital Gains Tax on your DeFi transactions. At a basic level, the tax you'll pay depends on whether you're seen to be 'earning' crypto or 'disposing' of crypto based on the current guidance. Remember, earning crypto is any time you receive new coins or tokens as a result of your transactions. This would cover many DeFi transactions. Meanwhile, when you're trading, selling, or spending tokens on DeFi platforms - this would be subject to Capital Gains Tax.

It is important to discuss your DeFi transactions with an accountant as there is no formal guidance from the IRS just yet. The following are potential tax treatments that may apply however we are yet to get confirmation from the IRS:

  • Earning interest from DeFi protocols: Income Tax if it's new tokens. Capital Gains Tax if you receive LP tokens that accrue value.

  • Borrowing from DeFi protocols: Capital Gains Tax if you receive tokens in exchange for collateral.

  • Paying interest in DeFi protocols: No tax unless you're paying in crypto, in which case potential Capital Gains Tax, although this could be an investment expense and tax deductible, depending on why you borrowed crypto.

  • Staking on DeFi protocols: Income Tax if you receive new tokens. Capital Gains Tax if you receive LP tokens that accrue value.

  • Yield farming DeFi protocols: Income Tax if you receive new tokens. Capital Gains Tax if you receive LP tokens that accrue value.

  • Earning liquidity tokens from DeFi protocols: Income Tax or Capital Gains tax depending on whether you're earning new coins or you receive LP tokens that accrue value.

  • Adding liquidity to liquidity pools: Capital Gains Tax, depending on whether you receive LP tokens in exchange for your liquidity.

  • Removing liquidity from liquidity pools: Capital Gains Tax, depending on whether you receive LP tokens in exchange for your liquidity.

  • Earning through play/engage to earn DeFi protocols: Income Tax.

  • Profits from DeFi margin trading and options protocols: Capital Gains Tax.

We recommend speaking with an experienced crypto accountant for clear guidance on DeFi tax to remain compliant, you can also learn more in our US DeFi tax guide.

Earning new tokens from DeFi protocols

INCOME TAX

Anytime you're seen to be 'earning' from DeFi - whether that's new coins or tokens - it's likely that the IRS will view this as additional income and you'll pay Income Tax based on the fair market value of the asset in USD on the day you received it.

Selling or trading coins and tokens on DeFi protocols

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Anytime you sell or trade a coin or token on a DeFi protocol, this is likely to be viewed as a disposal from a tax perspective, making it subject to Capital Gains Tax. You'll pay tax on any profits as a result of a disposal.

Update 2023

Under new proposed guidance from the IRS, the definition of crypto brokers would include decentralized crypto exchanges, meaning DeFi platforms would need to collect customer data and send out the new Form 1099-DA to users and the IRS to report crypto transactions. Currently, this requirement isn't yet in effect, but if it goes ahead, it will roll out by the 2025 financial year.

NFT taxes

We have a dedicated guide on NFT taxes, but the IRS has recently released new guidance on the tax treatment of NFTs, so we'll cover it here too.

Prior to the new guidance, NFTs were treated as any other crypto asset from a tax perspective, so short-term or long-term Capital Gains Tax would apply when you disposed of an NFT by selling or trading it.

And that still remains true, however, under the new guidance NFTs may be deemed collectibles and taxed as such. Collectibles are still subject to short-term and long-term Capital Gains Tax, but at a higher rate of 28% vs. a maximum of 20% for other capital assets. So, under the new guidance which is immediately applicable, if you sell an NFT you've held for more than one year that is deemed a collectible by the IRS, then you'll pay 28% tax on any gain from that transaction.

However, not all NFTs are collectibles, and the IRS recognizes this. The IRS will be issuing additional guidance, but states that "until additional guidance is issued, the IRS intends to determine whether an NFT is treated as a collectible by using a “look-through analysis".

In other words, the IRS will "look through" the NFT to the underlying asset it represents to determine whether it's a collectible or not. Collectibles already have specific guidance under Section 408(m)(2) of the tax code, and the following assets are deemed collectibles for tax purposes:

  • Any work of art,

  • Any rug or antique,

  • Any metal or gem (with limited exceptions),

  • Any stamp or coin (with limited exceptions)

  • Any alcoholic beverage, or

  • Any other tangible personal property that the IRS determines is a "collectible" under IRC Section 408(m).

In their own example in the current guidance, the IRS states, "an NFT is treated as a collectible if the NFT's associated right or asset falls under the definition of collectible in the tax code. For example, a gem is a collectible under section 408(m); therefore, an NFT that certifies ownership of a gem is a collectible."

So, you should use the existing guidance and guidance on collectibles to determine the tax treatment of your NFT as long-term gains from NFTs held over a year may be taxed at a higher rate of 28%.

If your NFT is not deemed a collectible, the tax rules for crypto we've already covered apply. However, there is a specific exception that NFT creators who are minting and selling NFTs - like an artist selling paintings - may instead pay Income Tax on their earnings. In brief:

  • Selling or trading NFTs: Capital Gains Tax, but the higher 28% tax may apply for NFTs deemed collectibles.

  • Buying NFTs: No tax if you buy with fiat currency. Buying an NFT with crypto would be seen as a taxable crypto to crypto trade.

  • Minting/creating your own NFT: No tax - though minting costs may be able to be added to your cost basis.

  • Selling NFTs you created: Income Tax.

DAO Taxes

A recent trend in crypto is the growth of DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). They are effectively member-owned communities without central leadership. It’s an organizational structure that allows stakeholders to make governing decisions without the need for any kind of centralized authority. Instead of a small Board of Directors making decisions about the company, DAOs enable the community of token holders (members) to vote on the future of the organization.

A good example of this is Uniswap. Holders of UNI tokens vote on issues relating to the protocol - for example, how transaction fees are used and what new features to add.

Members of a DAO can profit from the DAO in various ways. For example, they might receive a share of the profits which result from the activities of the DAO or they might sell their DAO tokens to investors.

The IRS has no specific guidance on the taxation of DAOs. However, given the DAO is not a registered entity in any jurisdiction and has no central control, it cannot pay taxes itself. It’s therefore most akin to a flow-through entity, which is a business entity that passes any income it makes straight to its owners, shareholders, or investors. Under this interpretation, any income passed on to the members of the DAO would likely be subject to Income Tax, and the sale of DAO tokens that have appreciated since acquiring them would be subject to capital gains taxes.

Aside from the lack of federal guidance, the US state of Wyoming has formally recognized DAOs as a form of limited liability corporation (DAO LLC). The appropriate legal recognition of DAOs is an important step to understanding the flow-on tax characterization of a DAO.

Do you pay tax when spending crypto?

Thinking of heading to Home Depot to pay for your renovations in Bitcoin? You might be in for a surprise tax bill because spending your crypto on goods and services is subject to Capital Gains Tax.

Spending crypto on goods and services

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Spending your crypto is subject to Capital Gains Tax as it's a disposal of an asset. The IRS views this as you selling your crypto for market value. So you'll need to calculate your cost basis and subsequent capital gain or loss for these transactions. To do this, just take the cost base of your crypto asset and subtract it from the fair market value of your crypto asset in USD on the day you spent it.

Keep records of crypto transactions for taxes

You need to keep detailed records of your crypto transactions. The IRS says taxpayers need to maintain records that are sufficient to establish the position taken on their tax return. Therefore as a minimum, you should keep records of your crypto transactions including:

  • The date of your transactions.

  • The fair market value of your crypto in USD the day you acquired it.

  • The fair market value of your crypto in USD the day you disposed of it.

  • The capital gain or loss you made from each transaction.

  • What the transaction was and the parties involved.

  • Receipts of purchase and sale.

  • Records of transfers and transactions from all your crypto wallets and exchanges.

IRS records The IRS can audit tax returns from up to six years ago, so best practice is to keep these records for at least six years to ensure you have the information you need should you face an audit. This is easy to do with a crypto tax app like Koinly.

How to avoid crypto tax in the US

You can't outright avoid crypto tax in the US - not without breaking the law and facing some harsh penalties! But you can reduce your crypto tax bill with some tax tips. We've got a complete guide on avoiding crypto tax in the US, but in summary:

HODL

Make the most of lower long-term Capital Gains Tax rates by HODLing your assets for more than a year.

Utilize tax deductions

Utilize tax deductions. Going for the standard tax deduction isn't always the best way to reduce your tax bill depending on your individual circumstances. Common tax deductions include the child tax credit, medical expenses deduction, and 401k contributions deduction.

You may even be able to claim your Koinly plan as a tax preparation fee deduction - provided you're self-employed and not a W2 employee.

Know the CGT allowance

Earning less than $44,626 a year as a single taxpayer in 2023? No Capital Gains Tax for you.

Offset losses against gains

You can offset capital losses against capital gains with no limit in the US. You can even offset up to $3,000 of capital losses against your ordinary income. Carry over any losses you don't use to offset against future gains.

Track and harvest unrealized losses

Unrealized losses? Harvest them, including any worthless NFTs, so you can offset them against your net capital gain. In the US, the wash-sale rule currently only applies to securities - which crypto is not classified as, so investors can sell their crypto at a loss and buy them back right after. This legal loophole allows them to create artificial losses to reduce their overall tax bill. This is known as tax loss harvesting. Make the most of this legal loophole while you can as it's likely to be closed soon!

Gift and donate

Gifting crypto is tax free under $16,000 thanks to the annual gift tax exemption. You can use this to make the most of lower incomes in your household, giving you a lower total tax bill for everyone in your household.

Meanwhile, donating crypto is tax deductible, so find a worthy cause. A charity must have 501(c)3 status if you plan to deduct your donation from your federal taxes. You'll need to check your chosen charity's 501(c)3 status with the IRS' exempt organization database. If you're gifting more than $500, you'll also need to fill out Form 8283 with your annual tax return. As well as this, the IRS is clear that if you're donating more than $5,000 in crypto - you'll need a qualified appraisal in order to apply for a deduction.

Invest in IRAs

Investing in your retirement is a great way to avoid crypto tax. HODL your assets' long-term, tax free.

Invest in opportunity zone funds

Do good for your community and reduce your taxes by investing in opportunity zone funds. If you leave your investment for more than 5 years, you'll reduce your tax bill by up to 10%.

Pick the right cost basis method

Cost basis matters. FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and Spec ID all make a huge impact on your tax bill and you can pick from any of them. See which works best for your crypto taxes.

Look out for IRS warning letters

The IRS has confirmed they've been sending out more letters to crypto investors they believe are underreporting, evading tax, or owing tax. This letter may come in the form of three possible types: 6173, 6174 or 6174-A.

The 6174 and 6174-A letters are ‘no action’ warnings, and are considered to be ‘educational’ - they are designed to remind the taxpayer of their obligations to report and file their taxes on crypto transactions. If you have appropriately filed your taxes you do not have to do anything.

Letter 6173 does require action. Failure to respond to this letter will result in an audit of your tax account by the IRS.

Crypto investors who intentionally underreport their investments can face fines starting from $25,000 and can even face criminal charges with up to 5 years in prison.

What happens if you don't report cryptocurrency on taxes?

The IRS does not look kindly on those who avoid crypto taxes and they've made it clear that crypto is a key focus for 2023. Tax evasion and tax fraud are both federal offenses in the US - with penalties of up to $100,000 in fines or 5 years in prison. Learn more in our crypto tax evasion guide.
