How Cryptocurrency Taxes Work

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property by many governments around the world—including 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.

For a complete and in-depth overview, please refer to our Complete Guide to Cryptocurrency Taxes.

How To Do Your Crypto 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. US 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 Bitget Generate My Tax Forms?

Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of Bitget. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with Bitget's reporting is that it only extends as far as the Bitget platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of Bitget, Bitget can't provide complete gains, losses, and income tax information.

How Does Cryptocurrency Tax Software Help?

By integrating with all of your cryptocurrency platforms and consolidating your crypto data, CoinLedger’s cryptocurrency tax software and crypto portfolio tracker are able to track your profits, losses, income, and generate accurate tax reports in a matter of minutes.

You can test out the software and generate a preview of your gains and losses completely for free by creating an account.

Whether you file by hand or use crypto tax software, doing your Bitget taxes comes down to four steps:

Gather your full Bitget transaction history: every buy, sell, trade, deposit, and withdrawal.
Sort your transfers. Moving crypto between your own wallets is not taxable, but crypto that comes in as income (like staking or other rewards) is.
Calculate your capital gain or loss on each disposal, plus the value of any crypto income at the time you received it.
Report it on the right forms. In the US, capital gains go on Form 8949 and Schedule D, and crypto income goes on Schedule 1. These forms get included with your full tax return. Other countries have their own equivalents.

For a detailed explainer on reporting crypto from any exchange, see our guide on how to report your cryptocurrency on your taxes.

For most people the hard part of doing your Bitget taxes is steps 1 and 2. If you have ever moved crypto between Bitget and another wallet or exchange, Bitget can only see part of your history, so the totals it shows you can be incomplete.

That is where crypto tax software comes in. CoinLedger connects Bitget to every other wallet and exchange you have used, reconstructs your full history, and generates your tax forms automatically. More than 700,000 investors use it to file in minutes. Get started with a free account today, or keep reading to do it yourself.

Do you have to pay taxes on Bitget?

Yes. In the US and most other countries, your Bitget activity is subject to two kinds of tax:

Capital gains tax. When you dispose of cryptocurrency (selling it, trading one coin for another, or spending it), you recognize a capital gain or loss based on how the price changed since you received it.
Income tax. When you earn cryptocurrency (through staking or other rewards), you recognize ordinary income equal to its fair market value at the time you received it.

For a full breakdown, read our complete guide to cryptocurrency taxes.

What tax forms does Bitget provide?

Bitget does not operate in the United States, and it does not issue any US tax forms. As an offshore exchange with no US entity, it does not send a Form 1099-DA, 1099-MISC, or 1099-B.

That does not mean your Bitget activity is tax-free. US taxpayers owe tax on all of their Bitget gains and income and must self-report it, whether or not they ever receive a form. If you hold significant assets on Bitget, you may also have foreign-account reporting obligations (for example FATCA Form 8938); check with a tax professional if that could apply to you.

Does Bitget report to the IRS?

Bitget prohibits US users and has no US entity, so it is unlikely to report to the IRS. Even so, offshore exchanges are moving into scope of the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and the EU's DAC8, both live from January 1, 2026, a global tax-data-sharing regime whose information can ultimately reach tax authorities through information-exchange agreements. (The US relies on its own 1099 reporting rather than CARF.)

The takeaway: a missing form does not remove your obligation to report. You owe tax on your Bitget gains and income regardless.

Why isn't my Bitget tax report accurate?

Bitget can only see the activity that happens on Bitget. Because investors regularly transfer crypto between wallets and exchanges, Bitget cannot see the original cost basis of coins you moved in from somewhere else, so it cannot calculate your gain or loss correctly.

Example: why transfers break your cost basis

Amara buys $2,000 of ETH on another exchange. She transfers it to Bitget, then later sells it for $2,400 on Bitget.

Bitget only sees the $2,400 sale, not the $2,000 Amara originally paid. Without her cost basis, Bitget cannot tell whether she had a gain or a loss.

The fix is to bring every wallet and exchange into one place so your cost basis follows your crypto across platforms. That is exactly what crypto tax software like CoinLedger does.

What about derivatives and copy trading?

Bitget is best known for futures and copy trading, and CoinLedger covers that too. Your spot trades import automatically, and you can add your futures and copy-trading results with CoinLedger's Margin Gain transaction type, so all of your Bitget activity comes together in one complete tax report. Whatever you traded on Bitget, CoinLedger turns it into the forms you need to file.

How to file your Bitget taxes in minutes

With CoinLedger, you can import your Bitget spot history and generate your crypto tax forms in a few minutes. There are two ways to connect: an automatic import, or a file upload.

Option 1: Automatic import (API)

In Bitget, open the profile menu, go to API keys, and click Create API key. Choose the system-generated key, give it a name, and set a passphrase (Bitget shows it only once, so write it down).
Set the permissions to Read-only. Complete the security check, then copy your API key, secret key, and passphrase.
In CoinLedger, go to Add Account, choose the Bitget tab, click Auto-Import, paste all three values, and click Sync Transactions.

Option 2: File upload (CSV)

In Bitget, go to Spot, then Orders, then Spot Orders, and open Transactions. Set your time range and click Download to generate the file.
Bitget exports up to 24 months of history, so generate multiple files to cover your full history, and download each one (the download link expires after seven days).
In CoinLedger, go to Add Account, choose the Bitget tab, and upload your files.

Full steps are in our Bitget API import guide.

Once your transactions are in, CoinLedger matches your transfers, calculates your gains, losses, and income, and produces a complete tax report. You can file it yourself, hand it to your tax professional, or import it into TurboTax, TaxAct, or H&R Block.
