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 MEXC Generate My Tax Forms?

Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of MEXC. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with MEXC's reporting is that it only extends as far as the MEXC platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of MEXC, MEXC 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 MEXC taxes comes down to four steps:

Gather your full MEXC 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 MEXC taxes is steps 1 and 2. If you have ever moved crypto between MEXC and another wallet or exchange, MEXC 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 MEXC 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 MEXC?

Yes. In the US and most other countries, your MEXC 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 MEXC provide?

MEXC 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 MEXC activity is tax-free. US taxpayers owe tax on all of their MEXC gains and income and must self-report it, whether or not they ever receive a form. If you hold significant assets on MEXC, 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 MEXC report to the IRS?

MEXC prohibits US users and is no longer available in the United States, 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 MEXC gains and income regardless.

Why isn't my MEXC tax report accurate?

MEXC can only see the activity that happens on MEXC. Because investors regularly transfer crypto between wallets and exchanges, MEXC 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

Kenji buys $1,500 of an altcoin on another exchange. He transfers it to MEXC, then later sells it for $1,800 on MEXC.

MEXC only sees the $1,800 sale, not the $1,500 Kenji originally paid. Without his cost basis, MEXC cannot tell whether he 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?

MEXC is a major derivatives venue as well as a spot exchange, and CoinLedger handles both. Your spot trades import automatically, and you can bring your futures and perpetuals into the same report with CoinLedger's Margin Gain transaction type, so every part of your MEXC activity ends up in one place. Whether you traded spot, futures, or both, CoinLedger turns it into the tax forms you need.

How to file your MEXC taxes in minutes

MEXC does not offer an automatic connection, so you import your history with a few exported files. You need three files: your trade history, your deposits, and your withdrawals.

In MEXC, go to Spot Orders, open the Trade History tab, and click Export Trade History. Set the trading pair and side to All, choose the Excel format, and download. MEXC limits each export to 365 days, so export one file per year of trading. Do not choose the option to encrypt or password-protect the file.
Go to Wallets, then Funding History, and export your history twice: once with the type set to Deposit, and once set to Withdraw.
In CoinLedger, go to Add Account, choose the MEXC tab, and upload all of your files.

Full steps are in our MEXC file 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.
