Tax Treatment in United States
The IRS treats cryptocurrency and digital assets as property for federal tax purposes. Selling, trading, or using crypto to purchase goods or services triggers a taxable capital gains event. The same short-term and long-term capital gains rates that apply to stocks and other capital assets apply to crypto. Mining and staking rewards are treated as ordinary income at the time of receipt, valued at fair market value. Crypto received as payment for goods or services is also taxed as ordinary income.
This calculator provides estimates for United States. Actual crypto tax may vary depending on your specific circumstances, additional income, and applicable exemptions. Consult a tax professional.
