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 Coinbase Pro Generate My Tax Forms?
Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of Coinbase Pro. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with Coinbase Pro's reporting is that it only extends as far as the Coinbase Pro platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of Coinbase Pro, Coinbase Pro 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.
Are you a Coinbase Pro user looking to file your crypto taxes?
Coinbase Pro is one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. However, even serious traders often feel confused about how to report their transactions on the platform.Â
In this guide, weâll share the basics of how cryptocurrency is taxed and break down a simple 3-step process to help you report your Coinbase Pro taxes to the IRS.Â
What is Coinbase Pro?
In 2015, Coinbase started a new platform for dedicated crypto traders. The platform was originally called GDAX, but changed its name to Coinbase Pro in 2018. The platform offered users advanced options to trade cryptocurrencies and low trading fees.Â
In 2022, Coinbase sunsetted Coinbase Pro. Many of the platformâs features are now available on Coinbase Advanced Trade.Â
What taxes do you need to pay on Coinbase Pro?
To understand how much youâll be paying in taxes on your Coinbase Pro transactions, letâs review the basics of cryptocurrency taxes.Â
The IRS considers cryptocurrency a form of property that is subject to both income and capital gains tax.Â
Income tax: If you earn cryptocurrency as a form of income, this is considered ordinary income and will be taxed accordingly. Earning cryptocurrency interest would fall into this category.
Capital gains tax: You incur capital gains or losses every time you dispose of your cryptocurrency. Selling your cryptocurrency or trading it for another cryptocurrency on Coinbase Pro would fall under this category.Â
You have earned $600 or more in rewards or fees from Coinbase Earn, USDC Rewards, and/or Staking.
Itâs important to remember that this form alone is not enough to report your taxes. The 1099-MISC is meant to help users report miscellaneous income from rewards, but it does not show every taxable event â such as your capital gains and losses from cryptocurrency disposals.Â
In the future, all exchanges like Coinbase Pro will need to provide more comprehensive tax reporting information to users and the IRS. The 2021 American infrastructure bill requires parties facilitating cryptocurrency transactions to submit 1099 forms that report capital gains and losses.Â
Does Coinbase Pro keep track of your taxes?
Coinbase Pro does provide you with a record of your cryptocurrency transactions.Â
However, cryptocurrency exchanges have trouble tracking your gains, losses, and income if youâve transferred your cryptocurrency into or out of the platform. In cases like this, your exchange wonât know the original cost basis of your assets â which means it may have trouble calculating your gains and losses.Â
To get a complete record of your entire cryptocurrency transaction history, we recommend using crypto tax software. CoinLedger can aggregate your transactions across different wallets and exchanges to help you easily report your cryptocurrency taxes.Â
How to do your Coinbase Pro taxes
While you can no longer make transactions on your Coinbase Pro account, you can still upload your transaction history to CoinLedger and watch the platform automatically calculate your taxes and generate your necessary tax forms.Â
Hereâs how you can include all of your Coinbase Pro transactions on your tax report within minutes:
1. Within CoinLedger, click the âAdd Accountâ button on the top left.
2. Find Coinbase Pro in the list of supported exchanges and select the import method you prefer.Â
3. You can automatically import your Coinbase Pro transactions using an API connection or import them manually through a CSV file.
4. If you wish to import your trades through API, you can create a read-only API key in the âAPIâ section of your âSettingsâ within Coinbase Pro.
5. Alternatively, you can download a CSV file from Coinbase Pro in the section labeled âStatementsâ.
And thatâs it! Once youâre finished importing your transactions from Coinbase Pro and any other cryptocurrency exchange you are using, you can generate a complete tax report with the click of a button.Â
