How Maryland taxes your crypto gains
CoinLedger serves Maryland entirely remotely, one dedicated crypto tax expert from the first import to filed forms.
We work with crypto investors across Maryland, including Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Frederick, entirely online, so a crypto tax accountant near you is one form away.
Maryland taxes crypto gains as ordinary income across ten brackets, from 2% up to 6.5% for tax year 2026. In 2025 the state added two new high-income brackets, 6.25% over $500,000 and 6.5% over $1 million for single filers, so top earners pay more than they did a year ago.
The number most people miss is the county income tax. Every Maryland county and Baltimore City stacks its own rate, roughly 2.25% to 3.3%, on the same taxable income, capital gains included. That means your real rate on a crypto sale is the state bracket plus your local rate, not the headline 6.5%.
On top of that, Maryland runs a 2% surtax on net capital gains once federal AGI clears $350,000. The Comptroller of Maryland receives your federal return data and reconciles it against what you file, so mismatched cost basis on exchange and DeFi activity is exactly what draws a notice.
| Taxable income over | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 | 2% |
| $1,000 | 3% |
| $2,000 | 4% |
| $3,000 | 4.75% |
| $100,000 | 5% |
| $125,000 | 5.25% |
| $150,000 | 5.5% |
| $250,000 | 5.75% |
| $500,000 | 6.25% |
| $1,000,000 | 6.5% |
Maryland adds a 2% surtax on net capital gains for taxpayers with federal adjusted gross income above $350,000. It stacks on the state and county rates, pushing the top effective rate on crypto gains toward 11.8%. Carve-outs exist for a primary home sold under $1.5M and for retirement accounts, but not for typical trading gains.
Maryland counties and Baltimore City levy their own income tax on top of the state rate, roughly 2.25% to 3.3% for 2026. It applies to all income including capital gains, so your true crypto rate is the state bracket plus your county rate. A top-bracket resident in a high-rate county can pay close to 9.8% before the investment surtax.

Maryland-specific considerations
The county tax multiplier
Your crypto rate is the state bracket plus a county tax of up to 3.3%. Montgomery, Howard, and Baltimore City residents feel this most, and it applies to every dollar of gain.
2% capital gains surtax
Over $350,000 federal AGI, Maryland adds a 2% surtax on net capital gains. A crypto CPA models whether a large sale trips the threshold before you execute it.
New 6.5% top bracket
Maryland added 6.25% and 6.5% brackets in 2025. High-volume traders now sit in territory that did not exist two years ago.
Investors who thought it was hopeless
These are real people who handed our crypto CPAs a mess and got back a finished return.
Done For You Made My Crypto Taxes Easy.
Starting the process was easy and my assigned representative was highly knowledgeable and completed my case quickly so I was able to get the information to my tax preparer well before the tax filing deadline. Based on new IRS guidance I would never have been able to prepare the crypto portion of my return without the work done by Coinledger. This was a great experience.
Outstanding Support From the CoinLedger Team
I had multiple wallets and exchanges like Coinbase, Phantom, Exodus, and Tangem. Logan and Salvatore from the CoinLedger team were extremely helpful throughout the process... They were patient, answered all of my questions, and walked me through the process step by step. Overall, the support from Logan and Salvatore made a stressful process much easier.
CoinLedger Solved My 9 Year Crypto Tax Nightmare
Jamie and the team at CoinLedger were absolute lifesavers. I had nearly nine years of crypto transactions with missing cost basis that surfaced once I started to sell... Jamie guided me on what they needed, reconciled everything quickly, and delivered the IRS forms my CPA required. What felt like an absolute nightmare became completely manageable. I can't recommend them enough!
Highly recommend the Done-For-You program
I was very pleased with the Done For You program offered by CoinLedger. The onboarding process was quick and thorough. My contact person did a great job steering me through how to get the information needed despite my lack of technical knowledge. He was able to collect and reconcile five years of data, including Celsius bankruptcy losses, and give me US-compliant tax forms for multiple accounts.
Impressive follow-through on a genuinely complex case
I hired CoinLedger's Done For You service to reconcile several years of crypto activity across multiple exchanges and wallets, a case complicated by staking income and a high volume of transactions. When the initial report showed higher gains than I expected, they dug back in, found a handful of transactions misclassified by a software bug, corrected it, and my total capital gains came down by roughly a third. Upfront, accurate, and willing to get it right.
Professional and friendly service
Jamie did an excellent job putting my crypto data in order. I had years of disorganized data from exchange closures and transfers across wallets. Jamie was able to find the missing cost basis for my crypto and prepared accurate IRS forms for filing. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs a once-and-for-all clean up of their crypto tax data.
