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.
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 Cash App Generate My Tax Forms?
Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of Cash App. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with Cash App's reporting is that it only extends as far as the Cash App platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of Cash App, Cash App 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 Cash App taxes comes down to four steps:
Gather your full Cash App Bitcoin history: every buy, sell, send, and receive.
Sort your transfers. Sending Bitcoin between your own wallets is not taxable, but Bitcoin that comes in as income (like a boost or referral reward) is.
Calculate your capital gain or loss on each sale, plus the value of any Bitcoin 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 most people the hard part of doing your Cash App taxes is steps 1 and 2. If you have ever sent Bitcoin out of Cash App or received it from another wallet or exchange, Cash App 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 Cash App 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 Cash App?
Yes. On Cash App you buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin, and that activity is taxed two ways:
Capital gains tax. When you sell or spend your Bitcoin, you recognize a capital gain or loss based on how its price changed since you bought it.
Income tax. When you earn Bitcoin (through boosts, referrals, or other rewards), you recognize ordinary income equal to its fair market value at the time you received it.
Form 1099-DA for your Bitcoin sales. This is new: starting with 2025, Cash App reports your sales on Form 1099-DA instead of the old Form 1099-B. It reports your gross proceeds (the total you sold for), not your gain or loss, and it does not include peer-to-peer Bitcoin transactions. Cost basis reporting begins for Bitcoin acquired on or after January 1, 2026.
Form 1099-MISC if you earned $600 or more in Bitcoin rewards.
Cash App also issues Form 1099-K for business or commercial payments, which is separate from your Bitcoin activity. Cash App sends copies of these forms to the IRS. Remember that a 1099 only reflects your Cash App activity, so it is a starting point, not a complete tax report (see below).
Does Cash App report to the IRS?
Yes. Cash App reports to the IRS: when it issues you a 1099, it files an identical copy with the IRS.
Remember, you owe tax on your Cash App Bitcoin gains and income whether or not you receive a form.
Why isn't my Cash App tax report accurate?
Cash App only sees the Bitcoin activity that happens on Cash App. Because you can send and receive Bitcoin between Cash App and other wallets or exchanges, Cash App often does not know the original cost basis of your Bitcoin, so your 1099-DA can show proceeds with blank cost basis, which overstates your gain.
Example: why transfers break your cost basis
Sofia buys $500 of BTC on another exchange. She sends it to Cash App, then later sells it for $800 on Cash App.
Cash App only sees the $800 sale, not the $500 Sofia originally paid. Without her cost basis, Cash App may report the full $800 as if it were all gain.
The fix is to bring every wallet and exchange into one place so your cost basis follows your Bitcoin across platforms. That is exactly what crypto tax software like CoinLedger does.
