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 FTX US Generate My Tax Forms?

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

In 2022, FTX filed for bankruptcy, causing millions of FTX and FTX.US customers to lose access to their cryptocurrency holdings.

If you permanently lose access to your cryptocurrency as a result of an exchange bankruptcy, you can claim a capital loss on your tax return. However, you will relinquish your right to potentially reclaim your crypto in the future. 

At this point, it’s unclear whether FTX.US customers will re-gain access to their crypto. The bankruptcy process may take months or even years to sort out.

Why doesn’t FTX.US send me comprehensive tax forms? 

Unfortunately, FTX.US and other exchanges don’t have complete access to the information they need to calculate your tax liability.

Luckily, there’s an easier way to report your taxes. Crypto tax software like CoinLedger can help you generate a comprehensive crypto tax report in minutes.
