Frequently Asked Questions
How is crypto taxed?
The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property. Selling crypto for a profit triggers a capital gains event. Short-term gains (held < 1 year) are taxed as ordinary income. Long-term gains (held > 1 year) get preferential rates of 0%, 15%, or 20%.
Do I need to report small crypto sales?
Yes, all crypto sales, trades, and disposals are taxable events — even small amounts. The IRS has been increasing enforcement and many exchanges now report to the IRS.
Can I offset crypto gains with losses?
Yes — this is called tax-loss harvesting. You can sell losing positions to offset gains. If losses exceed gains, you can deduct up to $3,000 against ordinary income and carry forward remaining losses indefinitely.
