Crypto Tax Questions
Common questions from cryptocurrency investors and DeFi participants.
Yes. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, meaning each sale or exchange is a taxable event subject to capital gains tax. Short-term gains (held less than 1 year) are taxed as ordinary income. Long-term gains (held more than 1 year) qualify for preferential capital gains rates of 0%, 15%, or 20%.
