How Cryptocurrency Taxes Work
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property by many governments around the worldâincluding the U.S. Other forms of property that you may be familiar with include stocks, bonds, and real-estate.
Just like these other forms of property, cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains and losses rules, and you need to report your gains, losses, and income generated from your crypto investments on your taxes.
To do your cryptocurrency taxes, you need to calculate your gains, losses, and income from your cryptocurrency investments in your home fiat currency (e.g. USÂ Dollar, Australian Dollar, etc.).
Once you have your calculations, you can fill out the necessary tax forms required by your country. If you are in the United States, you can learn which forms you need to fill out with our blog post: How to Report Cryptocurrency On Your Taxes.
Why Can't Balancer Generate My Tax Forms?
Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of Balancer. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with Balancer's reporting is that it only extends as far as the Balancer platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of Balancer, Balancer can't provide complete gains, losses, and income tax information.

Trying to file taxes on your Balancer transactions?Â
DeFi taxes can be hard to navigate â even for experienced investors. Since most DeFi protocols donât provide tax forms, investors often spend hours of time and effort finding the information they need to accurately report their taxes.Â
In this guide, weâll break down everything you need to know about how Balancer transactions are taxed. Weâll also share a 3-step process that can help you calculate your Balancer taxes in minutes.Â
What is Balancer?Â
Balancer is a DeFi protocol that allows users to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. The protocol was founded in 2018 by Fernando Martinelli and Mike McDonald.Â
Unlike traditional exchanges, Balancer doesnât rely on centralized market makers to facilitate trades. Instead, Balancer uses decentralized liquidity pools, where tokens are provided by users.Â
While exchanges like Uniswap limit their liquidity pools to 2 assets, Balancerâs liquidity pools can support up to 8 crypto-assets at a time. No matter how the price of each cryptocurrency fluctuates over time, Balancerâs smart contracts ensure that each asset continues to have an equal weight in the liquidity pool.Â
How is cryptocurrency taxed?Â
Before we jump into how you can file your Balancer taxes, letâs briefly review the basics of cryptocurrency taxation.Â
Cryptocurrency is subject to capital gains and ordinary income tax.Â
Did you pay gas fees while using Balancer? Gas fees that are directly related to acquiring or disposing of cryptocurrency can reduce your capital gains tax.Â
How do I track my Balancer transactions for tax purposes?Â
To file your taxes, youâll need the following information.Â
The type of cryptocurrency you disposed ofÂ
The amount of cryptocurrency you disposed ofÂ
The date you originally acquired your cryptoÂ
The date you sold or disposed your crypto
Your proceeds from disposing of your cryptoÂ
Your cost basis for acquiring your crypto
Your capital gain or lossÂ
At this time, most DeFi protocols donât provide tax forms for users. As a result, itâs your responsibility to track this information for tax purposes.Â
Crypto tax software like CoinLedger can help. No matter how many Balancer transactions you have, youâll be able to import your transactions and calculate your taxes with just a few clicks.Â
