Frequently Asked Questions
How is cryptocurrency taxed?
Cryptocurrency is treated as property by the IRS. Selling, trading, or using crypto to pay for goods triggers a taxable event. Short-term gains (held < 1 year) are taxed as ordinary income. Long-term gains (held 1+ year) qualify for lower capital gains rates (0%, 15%, or 20%).
Do I owe taxes on crypto-to-crypto trades?
Yes. Swapping one cryptocurrency for another (e.g., Bitcoin to Ethereum) is a taxable event. You must calculate the gain or loss based on the fair market value at the time of the trade.
