How does claiming cryptocurrency on your taxes even work? 🤔 It’s different than you may expect, so here’s a quick overview:
💰 The IRS considers cryptocurrency as a property or holding, meaning cryptocurrencies are taxed just like other holdings such as stocks.
💰 This means that if you hold crypto, you are expected to complete Form 8949 and Form 1040, reporting any gains or losses of cryptocurrencies.
💰 Form 1040 has a draft of the new form showing a dedicated field for “digital assets,” which can include NFTs.
TLDR: you’ll want to keep paperwork and records available if you acquire or sell digital assets (including NFTs) this year. If you have questions or need help with your next filing, let us know!
