Cryptocurrency Tax Liability

As cryptocurrencies continue to impact the financial world, understanding their tax implications is crucial for investors and enthusiasts alike. 

→ At Bernice Hassan and Associates, we’re here to guide you through the complex realm of cryptocurrency taxation, based on the latest IRS guidelines.

Key points to understand:

  • The IRS treats virtual currencies as property for federal tax purposes. General tax principles applicable to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency.
  • You must report all virtual currency transactions on your tax return, regardless of the amount. This includes purchases, sales, exchanges, and receipts of virtual currency.
  • If you receive virtual currency as payment for goods or services, you must include the fair market value of the virtual currency in U.S. dollars as gross income.
  • For tax purposes, virtual currency received through mining is considered taxable income at the fair market value on the date of receipt.

While cryptocurrency tax laws continue to evolve, staying informed and compliant is crucial. Our team at Bernice Hassan and Associates is here to help you navigate these challenges, ensuring you remain in good standing with the IRS while optimizing your crypto investments.
