How Crypto Is Usually Taxed
Selling, swapping, or spending crypto is often a taxable event. Mining, staking rewards, and some airdrops may count as ordinary income when received.
Records You Need
Track date, cost basis, proceeds, and fees for every transaction. Use exchange exports and reputable tax software.
Loss Harvesting
Realized losses can sometimes offset gains—subject to wash-sale and local rules (US equities have wash-sale rules; crypto has had nuanced treatment—confirm current law).
Conclusion
Treat crypto like a volatile asset with real tax consequences. When in doubt, consult a crypto-savvy CPA.
