This tax guide is regularly updated: Last Update  
Key takeaways
  • Tax agencies can track your %blockchainName% transactions, so it’s essential to file your crypto taxes properly. You owe tax any time you sell, swap or dispose of your %blockchainCode% for a profit.
  • Transaction data from the %blockchainName% can be downloaded using a block explorer, but analysing this data yourself can be difficult, time consuming and prone to errors.
  • Alternatively, you can use Summ, which automatically syncs with the %blockchainName% blockchain and other platforms like exchanges to provide you with a comprehensive tax report.

If you’ve been using %blockchainName%, it’s important to understand how to report your crypto taxes. Like most blockchains, %blockchainName% does not automatically report, calculate, or issue tax forms for you. It’s up to users to report their gains, losses, and income based on their activity. This must include all blockchains and exchanges you’ve transacted on, not just %blockchainName%. The good news is that Summ makes calculating your %blockchainName% and crypto taxes quick and easy by automatically importing your data and generating comprehensive tax reports.

Quick steps

1. Create an account on Summ or log in if you already have one.
2. Select %blockchainName% in the Accounts list.
3. Import your %blockchainName% transactions using API or CSV.
4. Let our software calculate your gains, losses, and income.
5. Download your tax report and file it with your taxes.

Disclaimer: The information in this guide is general in nature and not written for a specific tax jurisdiction or audience.

Do I need to pay taxes on %blockchainName%? 

If you have been transacting on %blockchainName% during the tax year, or sold any %blockchainCode%, then it’s likely you will need to pay tax based on your trading activity.

Typically, anytime you sell crypto for fiat, trade crypto-to-crypto, or earn crypto income (e.g., through staking or rewards on %blockchainName%), it is considered a taxable event in most countries. 

The exact tax you owe (capital gains or income tax) will depend on your local regulations and the specifics of each transaction. Check our list of local crypto tax guides for details on how cryptocurrency is taxed in your jurisdiction.

Do I have to pay tax if I only bought %blockchainCode% but didn’t sell?

In most parts of the world, you do not pay any tax when you purchase crypto.

It is only when you later dispose of that crypto – i.e., sell it or trade it for another asset – that a taxable event occurs and you need to report it on your tax. 

What %blockchainName% transactions are taxable?

The following are common transactions on blockchains like %blockchainName% which are relevant to tax:

Event Tax implication
Selling %blockchainCode% Capital gains tax
Crypto-to-crypto swaps Capital gains tax
Rewards from staking, interest or yield Income tax
Selling NFTs Capital gains tax
Providing liquidity to DeFi pools May involve multiple taxable steps

Most countries typically tax proceeds earned from selling investments differently from money earned as income. In crypto, you may be subject to both capital gains and income tax, depending on the nature of your transaction:

Capital Gains tax events from %blockchainName%

Whenever you sell %blockchainCode% or make a crypto-to-crypto swap using the %blockchainName% blockchain, you are disposing of an asset. 

If the value of the crypto at the time of sale/trade is higher than when you acquired it, you have a taxable capital gain. 

If it’s lower, you have a capital loss (which can often be used to offset other gains). 

Summ will automatically calculate these gains and losses for each trade using your imported transaction data. It will also account for fees according to your local tax rules. 

Income tax from %blockchainName%

If you received crypto as a reward on %blockchainName% for activities such as staking, lending, or yield farming – those tokens are usually considered income

The value of the crypto at the time and date you received needs to be reported as income. It also forms the cost basis if you later sell the asset. 

Summ will automatically categorise income tax events and treat them according to your local tax rules. 

Remember that the exact rules for how transactions on %blockchainName% are taxed will depend on your tax jurisdiction. To learn more, check out our list of local tax guides

How to calculate %blockchainName% taxes with Summ 

1. Import your data

First, you will need to import your %blockchainName% transaction data to Summ. Here’s how:

Sync via API 

This method uses a secure API feed to transfer your transaction data from the %blockchainName% to Summ. Using an API ensures that your data will be updated over time, so that any change in your %blockchainName% balance is reflected in Summ.

  1. Sign in to Summ or create an account. Navigate to the Accounts tab and click + Add accounts.
  2. Select %blockchainName% from the list of integrations. Click on Sync via API.
  3. Enter your Ethereum wallet address. Add an optional nickname, and click 'Add Wallet'.
  4. Summ automatically imports your %blockchainName% transaction history from the blockchain. This may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the number of transactions. You’ll see a confirmation when all data is imported.

Generate your tax report

Once your %blockchainName% data is imported to Summ, you can calculate your taxes with a few clicks.

  1. Import accounts.
    Add any other exchange accounts, wallets or transaction data to Summ. You will need to upload your entire crypto transaction history for an accurate report. This includes all wallets, blockchains and exchange accounts.
  2. Review transactions
    While Summ does the hard work for you, it may flag some missing data or errors, which you will need to review to ensure accuracy.
  3. Get your tax report
    Generate a comprehensive tax report ready for your accountant or local tax authority.

How to file your %blockchainName% tax report

Here’s what to do with your exciting and new crypto tax report:

  1. Review your tax report. After importing, you can generate a tax report for %blockchainName% and any other accounts you linked. This report will detail your net capital gains, losses, and income from crypto for your chosen financial year. Review it to make sure everything looks correct. If something looks off, return to the Review tab to ensure all transactions are categorized correctly; check the Accounts tab to ensure all your accounts and their transactions have been added.
  2. Download and complete the necessary tax forms. Summ can produce specific forms or summaries needed for filing. For example, if you live in the US, it can produce a report ready to upload to TurboTax. There are also specific forms like Form 8949 and Schedule D that contain the relevant information for crypto. Summ’s reports are designed to be tax-office compliant, making this straightforward.
  3. File before the deadline. Make sure you file your taxes before the deadline in your country. Properly reporting your %blockchainName% crypto activity will keep you compliant and help you avoid any penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions about %blockchainName% (%blockchainCode%) taxes

What is the best crypto tax software for %blockchainName%?

We may be slightly biased, but we think Summ is the best tax software for %blockchainName%.

Summ analyses all of your %blockchainName% transactions to calculate capital gains, income and expenses. You can add as many accounts as you like from other supported blockchain, exchanges, wallets and defi protocols, which streamlines the tax process, saving you from a headache.

There’s no need to worry about meeting the reporting standards of your local tax authority either. Summ generates tax reports that comply with the requirements of numerous tax authorities, including the IRS, HMRC, ATO, CRA, and many more.

With a single account, you have all your transaction data in one place, and the heavy lifting will be done for you for years to come.

But don’t just take our word for it. Summ has a 4.8-star rating on Trustpilot, with countless positive reviews. It is trusted by accountants worldwide and is the official tax partner of Coinbase and MetaMask, two of the largest crypto platforms in the world.

Are my %blockchainName% transactions tracked by the government?

It is very likely that the government can view and monitor your %blockchainName% transactions if they want to.

Even if they do not currently share information, increasing regulatory requirements may obligate them to do so at a later date. If your local tax authority discovers you have misreported your crypto tax in previous years, you could face tough penalties, including fines and legal punishment.

Even if you have used non-KYC exchanges and DeFi protocols for trading, blockchains are public databases that make it easy for authorities to track and connect your transactions with your real-world identity.

In life, only 4 things are certain – Life, death, taxes and the volatility of bitcoin.

Does [exchange-name] provide tax documents, statements or summaries?

[exchange-name] does not currently provide a comprehensive tax report that covers all your gains and losses. Instead, they will let you download a CSV or send you a summary of transactions, but this isn’t a ready-to-file tax form.

Summ fills that gap by using your data to create a complete tax report.

Do I have to pay taxes on crypto if I never cashed out to my bank from [exchange-name]?

Even if you didn’t withdraw fiat to your bank account, many countries will tax you when you sell your crypto. This includes crypto-to-crypto trades or anything that classifies as a disposal of a capital asset.

For example, trading two stablecoins – such as USDC for USDT – on [exchange-name] is taxable because you sold one crypto for another.

The same goes for using crypto to buy something or spending it using a crypto debit card.

Transferring between your own wallets/exchanges (without changing ownership or value) might not be taxable, but if gas fees are involved, it may trigger a taxable event. Always consider what counts as a taxable event in your jurisdiction.

What if I only bought crypto on [exchange-name] but didn’t sell?

Generally, buying crypto with fiat is not a taxable event.

If you haven’t sold or traded the crypto you bought, you likely don’t have gains or losses to report for those holdings yet. However, you should still keep records.

And if you earned any crypto (through staking or rewards on [exchange-name]), those could be taxable as income even if you haven’t sold them.

Additionally, if you used [exchange-name] to purchase crypto but then moved it into another wallet or exchange, you may need to pay tax on the gas fees used if they were paid in crypto.

Summ tracks your cost basis for all linked accounts so that when you eventually sell, your prior purchases on [exchange-name] are accounted for.

Can I avoid paying taxes on my [exchange-name] trades?

If you have taxable transactions, you’re legally required to report them in most jurisdictions.

There’s no loophole to completely avoid taxes on your crypto profits besides using allowed methods to reduce your overall tax obligation, like offsetting gains with losses.

Summ will help ensure you’re claiming all your eligible losses and deductions, and it even suggests tax-minimisation methods you may not be aware of, like tax loss harvesting.

If you want to learn more about the legal ways to reduce your crypto tax, then read our dedicated guide, which was written by a specialised crypto tax lawyer.

No matter what a friend or anonymous person on the internet might say, you must not evade taxes. It will catch up with you.

Do I need to pay taxes on %exchangeName%? 

Yes, you will likely need to pay tax if you used %exchangeName% during the tax year. 

You will owe capital gains tax or income tax, depending on the nature of your transactions, and whether or not you receive any token rewards from %exchangeName%.

The exact tax you owe will depend on your local regulations and the specifics of each transaction. See our list of local crypto tax guides for details on how cryptocurrency is taxed in your jurisdiction.

How are %exchangeName% transactions taxed?

The taxation of DeFi platforms like %exchangeName% can vary depending on your tax jurisdiction. 

Most countries typically tax proceeds earned from selling investments differently from money earned as income. You may be subject to both capital gains (CGT) and income tax, depending on the nature of your transaction. 

Here’s how transactions on DeFi platforms like %exchangeName% might be treated: 

%exchangeName% capital gains tax (CGT) events

Event Description
Crypto-to-crypto trades/swaps Swapping one cryptocurrency for another. CGT is charged on the proceeds from the sale.
Providing liquidity Depositing crypto into a liquidity pool. May be treated as a disposal.
Wrapping tokens Exchanging one crypto for a wrapped version. May be treated as a swap.
Bridging tokens Moving assets from one chain to another. May be treated as a swap.
Paying gas fees Disposing of crypto to pay network fees. Treated as a sale.

%exchangeName% income tax events

Event Description
Staking, Yield Farming, or Liquidity Provider rewards Receiving income for deposited assets. Income tax owed on the fair market value of rewards when received. CGT is owed if you sell the rewards.
Interest payments from lending Receiving interest payments for lending assets. Income tax owed on the fair market value of rewards when received. CGT is owed if you sell the rewards.

%exchangeName% that are not taxed 

Event Description
Borrowing Borrowing crypto is not typically a taxable event.
Staking Staking crypto is not typically a taxable event. However, any rewards you receive may be subject to income tax when received, and CGT when sold.

Remember that the exact rules for transactions on %exchangeName% will depend on your tax jurisdiction. To learn more, check out our list of country-specific tax guides.

Does %exchangeName% report to the IRS?

%exchangeName% is not required to report user activity to the IRS, however, that does not mean your transactions can’t be traced. 

Blockchains are public ledgers, which makes it easy to track a wallet's activity. The IRS uses sophisticated data collection and analysis to match your real-world identity with your on-chain activity.

Does %exchangeName% report my transactions to the tax authorities?

DeFi protocols like %exchangeName% are unlikely to share individual user data with authorities, unless required by law.

However, even if you have used non-KYC exchanges and DeFi protocols for trading, blockchains are public databases that make it easy for authorities to track and connect your transactions with your real-world identity.

Regardless, any time you dispose of crypto, make a capital gain or receive income, you are required to report it on your taxes.

Does %exchangeName% send me a tax form or report?

No. DeFi apps and DEXs like %exchangeName% do not issue tax forms.

Instead, you can use Summ to analyse your transactions and generate a crypto tax report.

Are %exchangeName% rewards taxed even if I don’t sell them?

Yes. If you receive tokens as a reward, those tokens are typically treated as income. They are taxed based on the fair market value at the time you received them.

If you later sell those tokens, any change in price since you received them becomes a capital gain or loss.

So you might end up paying income tax when you first receive them, and then capital gains when you eventually sell them.

Key takeaways
  • Tax agencies can track your %exchangeName% transactions, so it’s essential to file your crypto taxes properly. You owe tax any time you sell, swap or dispose of your crypto for a profit.

Do I need to pay taxes on %exchangeName%? 

If you have been transacting on %exchangeName% during the tax year, then it’s likely you will need to pay tax based on your trading activity.

Typically, anytime you sell crypto for fiat, trade crypto-to-crypto, or earn crypto income (e.g., through staking or rewards on %exchangeName%), it is considered a taxable event in most countries. 

The exact tax you owe (capital gains or income tax) will depend on your local regulations and the specifics of each transaction. Check our country-specific crypto tax guides for details on how cryptocurrency is taxed in your jurisdiction.

Do I have to pay tax if I only bought crypto on %exchangeName% but didn’t sell?

In most parts of the world, you do not pay any tax when you purchase crypto.

It is only when you later dispose of that crypto – i.e., sell it or trade it for another asset – that a taxable event occurs.  

What %exchangeName% transactions are taxable?

The following are common transactions on cryptocurrency exchanges like %exchangeName% which are relevant to tax:

Event Tax implication
Selling crypto Capital gains tax
Crypto-to-crypto swaps Capital gains tax
Rewards from staking, interest or yield Income tax

Most countries typically tax proceeds earned from selling investments differently from money earned as income. In crypto, you may be subject to both capital gains and income tax, depending on the nature of your transaction:

Capital Gains tax events on %exchangeName%

Whenever you sell or make a crypto-to-crypto swap on %exchangeName%, you are disposing of an asset. 

If the value of the crypto at the time of sale/trade is higher than when you acquired it, you have a taxable capital gain. 

If it’s lower, you have a capital loss (which can often be used to offset other gains). 

Summ will automatically calculate these gains and losses for each trade using your imported transaction data. It will also account for fees according to your local tax rules. 

Income tax on %exchangeName%

If you received crypto as a reward on %exchangeName% for activities such as staking, lending, or referral bonuses – those tokens are usually considered income

The value of the crypto at the time and date you received needs to be reported as income. It also forms the cost basis if you later sell the asset. 

Summ will automatically categorise income tax events and treat them according to your local tax rules.

Remember that the exact rules for transactions on %exchangeName% will depend on your tax jurisdiction. To learn more, check out our list of country-specific tax guides.

Does %exchangeName% report to the IRS?

If you registered with %exchangeName% as a resident of the United States, then starting in the 2025 tax year, the exchange is required to report your customer data and transactions to the IRS.

Other tax authorities around the globe, like the ATO, HMRC, CRA are also engaged in data-sharing programmes with exchanges like %exchangeName%. They may also use blockchain analytics tools, data-sharing between banks and KYC and AML data to match your identity with your trading activity on %exchangeName%.

Where do I find %exchangeName% tax forms?

Exchanges like %exchangeName% do not provide tax forms with a neat breakdown of your tax obligations. This is because tax rules vary between countries and jurisdictions, which requires specialised software to handle additional complexities of crypto tax. Additionally, any assets you transfer onto the platform will be missing an accurate cost basis. 

Fortunately, you can connect your exchange account to Summ via API or upload your transaction data using CSV. Summ will then combine this data with any other accounts or wallets you connect to provide you with an accurate tax report ready to submit to your tax agent, accountant or local tax authority. 

You can connect as many supported exchange accounts, wallets or blockchains as you like, with reports available for all previous years on a single plan.

The exact tax you owe will depend on whether your transactions are classified as capital gains or income. Check our list of local crypto tax guides for details on how cryptocurrency is taxed in your jurisdiction.

Do I have to pay tax if I only sent crypto to %blockchainName% but didn’t sell?

If you sent crypto to your %blockchainName% wallet and paid transaction fees in crypto (such as Ethereum Gas), then that transaction is a taxable event. 

This is because you are taxed any time you dispose of your crypto. 

When you pay a network fee in crypto, it is treated as though you sold (i.e., dispose) of your crypto. So even if you only paid a small fee, you will still need to pay a small amount of tax on that transaction. 

Summ makes it easy to calculate the total tax owed from your %blockchainName% transactions over the tax year. 

What %blockchainName% transactions are taxable?

These are how some common transactions using %blockchainName% are taxed:

Event Tax implication
Selling %blockchainCode% Capital gains tax
Crypto-to-crypto swaps Capital gains tax
Rewards from staking, interest or yield Income tax
Selling NFTs Capital gains tax
Providing liquidity to DeFi pools May involve multiple taxable steps

Most countries typically tax proceeds earned from selling investments differently from money earned as income. In crypto, you may be subject to both capital gains and income tax, depending on the nature of your transaction. 

Summ categorizes these events for you, based on your tax jurisdiction. This helps ensure that you pay the correct tax rate based on your %blockchainName% transactions, and receive any sort of discounts or allowances based on your local tax rules

Capital Gains tax events from %blockchainName%

Whenever you dispose of crypto using %blockchainName% you are charged capital gains tax.

Disposals include things like selling crypto, swapping crypto-to-crypto, depositing crypto into DeFi, or paying network fees using crypto. 

If the value of the crypto at the time of disposal is higher than when you acquired it, you have a taxable capital gain. 

If it’s lower, you have a capital loss (which can often be used to offset other gains). 

Summ will automatically calculate these gains and losses for each trade using your imported transaction data. It will account for fees according to your local tax rules. 

Income tax events from %blockchainName%

If you received crypto as a reward for activities such as staking, lending, or yield farming – those tokens are usually considered income

The value of the crypto at the time and date you received needs to be reported as income. It also forms the cost basis if you later sell the asset. 

Summ will automatically categorise income tax events and treat them according to your local tax rules.

How to calculate your %blockchainName% taxes with Summ 

1. Import your data

First, you will need to import your %blockchainName% transaction data to Summ. Here’s how:

Sync via API

  1. In Summ, click “Add Account” and select %blockchainName% or the relevant blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Solana).
  2. Copy your wallet’s public address.
  3. Paste your address.
  4. Summ will scan the blockchain and import all your taxable events: trades, transfers, airdrops, NFT sales, staking rewards, yield farming etc.
  5. Do this for each address in your wallet. 

Upload CSV

  1. In Summ, click “Add Account” and select %blockchainName% or the relevant blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Solana).
  2. Click Import %blockchainName% CSV to upload your transaction data. Choose your file using the browser or drag and drop it into the window. 
  3. Click Import %blockchainName% CSV to complete the upload. 
  4. Verify the transaction details match your expectations from your %blockchainName% activity. Summ will alert you if any data seems missing or if there are errors in the file.

Note: If you downloaded your CSV from a block explorer, then you will need to upload a CSV for each public address you have in the wallet.

2. Generate your tax report

Once your %blockchainName% data is imported to Summ, you can calculate your taxes with a few clicks.

  1. Import accounts.
    Add any other exchange accounts, wallets or transaction data to Summ. You will need to upload your entire crypto transaction history for an accurate report. This includes all wallets, blockchains and exchange accounts. 
  2. Review transactions

How to file your %blockchainName% tax report

1. Review your tax report

After importing, you can generate a tax report for %blockchainName% and any other accounts you linked. This report will detail your net capital gains, losses, and income from crypto for your chosen financial year. 

Review it to make sure everything looks correct. If something looks off, return to the Review tab to ensure all transactions are categorized correctly; check the Accounts tab to ensure all your accounts and their transactions have been added.

2. Download and complete the necessary tax forms 

Summ can produce specific forms or summaries needed for filing. Simply check the options in the Downloads section of the tax report and choose the one you need. 

For example, if you live in the US, it can produce a report ready to upload to TurboTax, as well as forms like Form 8949 and Schedule D that are pre-filled and contain the relevant information for crypto. 

Summ’s reports are designed to be tax office compliant and make this straightforward. 

3.  File before the deadline 

Make sure you file your taxes before the deadline in your country. Properly reporting your %blockchainName% crypto activity will keep you compliant and help you avoid any penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions about %blockchainName% taxes

What is the best crypto tax software for %blockchainName%?

We may be slightly biased, but we think Summ is the best tax software for %blockchainName%.

Summ analyses all of your %blockchainName% transactions to calculate capital gains, income and expenses. You can add as many accounts as you like from other supported blockchain, exchanges, wallets and defi protocols, which streamlines the tax process, saving you from a headache.

There’s no need to worry about meeting the reporting standards of your local tax authority either. Summ generates tax reports that comply with the requirements of numerous tax authorities, including the IRS, HMRC, ATO, CRA, and many more.

With a single account, you have all your transaction data in one place, and the heavy lifting will be done for you for years to come.

But don’t just take our word for it. Summ has a 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot, with countless positive reviews. It is trusted by accountants worldwide and is the official tax partner of Coinbase and MetaMask, two of the largest crypto platforms in the world.

Does %blockchainName% share data with tax authorities?

Most wallet providers don’t directly report your transactions, because they are just software interfaces that let you interact with the blockchain. However, data stored on a blockchain is public, so authorities can see on-chain activity very easily.

What if I only use %blockchainName% to store crypto I bought on an exchange?

Even if you only use %blockchainName% for storage and not trading, you may still owe taxes. This is because most blockchain transactions are taxable events, as you need to sell a bit of crypto to pay for network fees. So you will likely owe a small amount of tax on those transactions in the tax year they were made.

How do I add multiple %blockchainName% addresses?

Simply add each address in Summ. The software will combine everything for one complete tax report.

Where can I find %blockchainName% tax documents?

%blockchainName% don’t provide tax documents. Instead you need to use crypto tax software like Summ or download all of your %blockchainName% from a block explorer and calculate your taxes manually.

Key takeaways
  • Tax agencies can track your %exchangeName% transactions, so you need to file your crypto taxes properly. You owe tax any time you sell, swap or dispose of your crypto for a profit.
  • %exchangeName% does not issue tax reports, so you will need to gather the data and calculate taxes yourself.
  • Alternatively, you can use Summ, which automatically syncs with your %exchangeName% and other crypto platforms to provide you with a comprehensive tax report.

If you’ve been using %exchangeName%, it’s important to understand how to report your crypto taxes. Like most exchanges, %exchangeName% does not automatically report, calculate, or issue tax forms for you. It’s up to users to report their gains, losses, and income from the platform.

The good news is that Summ makes calculating your %exchangeName% taxes quick and easy by automatically importing your data and generating comprehensive tax reports.

Quick steps

Does %exchangeName% report my transactions to the tax authorities?

DeFi protocols like %exchangeName% are unlikely to share individual user data with authorities, unless required by law.

However, even if you have used non-KYC exchanges and DeFi protocols for trading, blockchains are public databases that make it easy for authorities to track and connect your transactions with your real-world identity.

Regardless, any time you dispose of crypto, make a capital gain or receive income, you are required to report it on your taxes.

Does %exchangeName% send me a tax form or report?

No. DeFi apps and DEXs like %exchangeName% do not issue tax forms.

Instead, you can use Summ to analyse your transactions and generate a crypto tax report.

Are %exchangeName% rewards taxed even if I don’t sell them?

Yes. If you receive tokens as a reward, those tokens are typically treated as income. They are taxed based on the fair market value at the time you received them.

If you later sell those tokens, any change in price since you received them becomes a capital gain or loss.

So you might end up paying income tax when you first receive them, and then capital gains when you eventually sell them.

Key takeaways
  • The IRS requires exchanges like %exchangeName% to report your crypto transactions using Form 1099-DA, making accurate tax reporting more important than ever.
  • Starting in 2026, you'll receive a 1099-DA from %exchangeName% for your 2025 transactions – but the form may contain missing cost basis data. This needs to be amended to prevent you from greatly overpaying on your tax.
  • Crypto Tax Calculator automatically syncs with %exchangeName% and all your other crypto accounts to generate accurate, IRS-compliant tax reports that reconcile with your 1099-DA forms.

If you've been trading crypto on %exchangeName%, understanding how to properly report your taxes is more critical than ever. With the introduction of IRS Form 1099-DA, exchanges like %exchangeName% are now required to report your crypto transactions, profits, loss and income directly to the IRS. However, this information from exchanges may be incorrect or incomplete, and it's up to you to report the accurate figures to the IRS.

The good news is that Crypto Tax Calculator makes calculating your %exchangeName% taxes quick and easy by automatically importing your data and generating comprehensive tax reports.

Quick steps

4. Let our software calculate your gains, losses, and income.
5. Download your tax report and file it with your taxes.

Disclaimer: The information in this guide is for US taxpayers and is general in nature. Cryptocurrency tax laws are complex and subject to change. Consult a tax professional for advice tailored to your circumstances.

What is Form 1099-DA and how does it affect %exchangeName% users?

Starting in 2026, %exchangeName% will issue Form 1099-DA (Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions) to report your crypto transactions from the 2025 tax year directly to the IRS. This marks a significant shift in crypto tax reporting.

What will be on your 1099-DA?

For the 2025 tax year (forms issued in early 2026), your 1099-DA will show:

  • Gross proceeds from sales and disposals of digital assets on %exchangeName%
  • Transaction dates and details

Starting with the 2026 tax year and beyond, your 1099-DA will also include:

  • Cost basis information (but only for assets bought and sold on %exchangeName%)
  • Adjusted basis and wash sale information

Why your 1099-DA might lead you to overpay on your tax

Here's the challenge: %exchangeName% can only report cost basis for crypto that you bought and sold entirely on their platform.

If you transferred crypto into %exchangeName% from another wallet or exchange, %exchangeName% has no record of your original purchase price (cost basis). In these cases, the 1099-DA may show a blank cost basis or $0 – making it look like your entire proceeds are taxable gains, even when they're not. You could wind up paying thousands of dollars of tax even if you made a loss.

Additionally, the 1099-DA won't capture:

This is where Crypto Tax Calculator becomes essential. Our platform aggregates your complete transaction history across all exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols to calculate your true cost basis and ensure your tax report matches the IRS's records while accurately reflecting your actual tax liability.

Do I need to pay taxes on %exchangeName%?

Yes. If you've been transacting on %exchangeName% during the tax year, you're required to report your crypto activity to the IRS.

In the United States, anytime you sell crypto for cash, trade one crypto for another, or earn crypto income (such as staking rewards or referral bonuses on %exchangeName%), it's considered a taxable event.

The type of tax you owe depends on the transaction:

The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, which means the same tax rules that apply to stocks and other investments also apply to your crypto transactions on %exchangeName%.

Do I have to pay tax if I only bought crypto on %exchangeName% but didn't sell?

No. Simply buying and holding crypto is not a taxable event in the United States.

You only owe taxes when you later sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of that crypto. However, you should keep careful records of your purchase price and date, as this information will be needed to calculate your cost basis when you eventually sell.

What %exchangeName% transactions are taxable?

The following are common transactions on cryptocurrency exchanges like %exchangeName% which are relevant to tax:

Event Tax implication
Selling crypto Capital gains tax
Crypto-to-crypto swaps Capital gains tax
Rewards from staking, interest or yield Income tax

In the US, proceeds from selling investments are taxed differently than income you earn. With crypto, you may be subject to both capital gains and income tax, depending on the transaction type:

Capital Gains tax events on %exchangeName%

Whenever you sell, swap or trade crypto on %exchangeName%, you're disposing of an asset for tax purposes.

If the value at the time of sale is higher than when you acquired it, you have a taxable capital gain. If it's lower, you have a capital loss, which can be used to offset other gains and reduce your tax bill.

Capital gains from crypto are reported on IRS Form 8949 and Schedule D. The proceeds on your Form 8949 must match what's reported on your 1099-DA from %exchangeName%–which is why accurate record-keeping across all your crypto accounts is essential.

Crypto Tax Calculator automatically calculates your gains and losses for each trade, properly accounts for transaction fees, and generates Form 8949 reports that reconcile with your 1099-DA forms.

Income tax on %exchangeName%

If you received crypto on %exchangeName% through staking rewards, lending interest, referral bonuses, or other earning activities, the IRS treats this as ordinary income.

You must report the fair market value of the crypto on the date you received it as income on your tax return. This value also becomes your cost basis if you later sell those tokens.

Crypto Tax Calculator automatically identifies and categorizes income events, calculates the USD value at the time of receipt, and ensures everything is reported correctly for IRS compliance.

Does %exchangeName% report to the IRS?

Yes. Starting with the 2025 tax year, %exchangeName% is required by law to report your digital asset transactions to the IRS using Form 1099-DA.

This means the IRS will have a record of your gross proceeds (and eventually cost basis) from crypto transactions on %exchangeName%. You'll receive a copy of your 1099-DA in early 2026 for your 2025 transactions.

The IRS can also use blockchain analytics, bank data sharing, and Know Your Customer (KYC) information to connect your identity to your crypto activity–even across multiple platforms. The bottom line: your crypto transactions are not anonymous to the IRS.

Where do I find %exchangeName% tax forms?

Starting in 2026, %exchangeName% will send you Form 1099-DA showing your gross proceeds from digital asset sales during the 2025 tax year. However, this form alone won't give you everything you need to accurately file your taxes.

Why the 1099-DA isn't enough

Your 1099-DA from %exchangeName% only shows activity on that single platform. It won't include:

  • Transactions on other exchanges or wallets you use
  • DeFi activity
  • Accurate cost basis for crypto you transferred into %exchangeName%
  • Complete context for your overall crypto tax situation

Without aggregating data from all your crypto accounts, you risk either overpaying taxes or filing an inaccurate return that doesn't match your 1099-DA–potentially triggering an IRS audit.
