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 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, CoinLedgerâs 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.
If the answer is yes, itâs likely that you have a tax liability to pay. Unfortunately, exchanges like Cash App donât always have the ability to provide you with accurate crypto tax forms. That means the burden for accurately reporting your taxes falls onto you.Â
In this article, weâll explain how your Bitcoin transactions on Cash App are taxed and break down a simple 4-step process to reporting your Cash App transactions on your tax return.Â
What is Cash App?
Cash App was launched by the payments company Square back in 2013. Since then, Cash App has become one of the most popular payments apps in the United States, boasting more than 70 million users in 2021.Â
Cash App offers a host of different financial services to its users, including peer-to-peer transactions, stock trading, and debit card offerings. Since 2018, the app has allowed users to buy, sell, and transfer Bitcoin.Â
Crypto taxes 101Â
In the United States, cryptocurrency is taxed as property, just like stocks or real estate.Â
When you dispose of cryptocurrency, youâll incur capital gains or losses depending on how the price of your cryptocurrency has fluctuated since you originally received it. Selling your cryptocurrency on Cash App is considered a disposal event.Â
Currently, Cash App provides a 1099-B to any user thatâs sold Bitcoin in the past year. This form reports gross proceeds from your Bitcoin sales.
 However, the form often leaves the Cost Basis field of 1099-B completely blank. If you ever transferred bitcoin into or out of Cash App, itâs likely you will have blank Cost Basis fields on your Cash App 1099-B. This is problematic when it comes to tax reporting because cost basis information is necessary for calculating your gains and losses.
Does Cash App report to the IRS?Â
Yes. Any 1099-B form that is sent to a Cash App user is also sent to the IRS.Â
Remember, there is no legal way to evade cryptocurrency taxes. Not filing your cryptocurrency taxes is considered tax fraud and is punishable through a maximum penalty of $100,000 and potential jail time.Â
Why doesnât Cash App provide me with my full tax records?Â
Cash Appâs website states the following.Â
Cash App only provides records of your bitcoin transactions on Cash App. If you trade cryptocurrencies on other exchanges you will need to obtain transaction and tax information from them.
This approach to tax reporting is not unique to Cash App â most cryptocurrency exchanges follow similar policies.Â
Because of the peer-to-peer nature of cryptocurrency, investors often transfer their holdings to different exchanges and different wallets. Unfortunately, that makes it difficult for exchanges to provide complete tax reports since they donât have access to customer transactions that take place on different platforms.Â
Luckily, there is an easy way for crypto investors to file their taxes: leveraging crypto tax software. With CoinLedger, you can get a complete record of your crypto gains and losses across different exchanges and easily generate a tax report.Â
