So is staking taxed?

[Anonymous No.30381003]

How?

[Anonymous No.30381383]

Shhh...the tax man doesn't know about that yet and they don't need to.

Is that how the IRS treats it ?

Income?

It’s taxed twice. The price at which you received it as income tax and capital gains taxed for when you cash it out taxed at it’s current price.

i take it you mean staking rewards? might depend on how you receive the rewards. eg if i stake link and choose to be rewarded in link, then is that taxed at the market value of the link at the time i'm rewarded? probably. if i choose to be rewarded in cash at that time? then definitely. you might get away with not declaring, but one day it'll likely catch up with you, most likely when you begin buying things like property and cars

[Anonymous No.30381702]

>>30381581
yes, because it’s income. you report it annually and pay based on what you report. it is highly illegal to under represent your earnings.

Gifted crypto is taxed at the market value upon receipt

No fucking clue how you figure this out when you stake for a long time

[Anonymous No.30382125]

Sounds like the irs meeds to explain or im just gonna say shit and start complaining to my congressman.

I think it is taxed as income when you convert it do fiat or a different crypto, and you can subtract your initial investment. At least that's the only way that makes sense, taxes are fucking weird and no one really knows, it's up to a judge's interpretation when you go to court.

>It’s taxed twice. The price at which you received it as income tax and capital gains taxed for when you cash it out taxed at it’s current price.

Gracias! And the second time is taxed at the price you sell it for, minus the basis (basis would be the amount of income you recognized and paid taxes on already the first time). Just in case, so frens don't accidentally pay more than they need in taxes.

I'll pay it if they tell me what I owe, fuck them if they think I'm spending a week mapping all that shit out so I can cut them a check

[Anonymous No.30382272]

>>30382145
> I think

Nobody gives a shit about what you think. Staking is taxed as income tax upon receipt at market value. And taxed once again when you cashed it out to fiat as capital gains tax. I already consulted with a veteran tax preparer stop giving bad fucking advices.

they even have to report yearly earnings to the IRS if they live in another country

[Anonymous No.30384042]

>>30383342
Most states don't have access to any fiat in/out besides coinbase, which reports all of our txs to the IRS. So if you ever cash out, coinbase/binance rats you out and if you haven't been tracking your DeFi txs and paying the stupid crypto-to-crypto tax then the IRS fucks your ass. Assuming you made it big and are trying to cash out a noteworthy sum anyway.

If a person gives you a car, you have to report the car as income, equivalent to its market value at the time you received it. Currency has nothing to do with it.

[Anonymous No.30385231]

It's okay, they'll just tax you at a 0% cost-basis, which is pretty much how it should work anyway since staking gains are free.

[Anonymous No.30385251]

>>30383736
Won't a lot of people be doing this...? It's actually difficult to quantify gains when staking and swing trading.

[Anonymous No.30385462]

Do you report earnings on rug pulls? What about losses from buying high/selling low or transaction fees that cause negative gains?
