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 SushiSwap Generate My Tax Forms?

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

SushiSwap is a decentralized exchange, so doing your SushiSwap taxes works a little differently than on a centralized exchange. Whether you file by hand or use crypto tax software, it comes down to four steps:

  1. Gather your full on-chain SushiSwap history: every swap, liquidity action, and reward, across every network you used it on.
  2. Sort your activity. Moving crypto between your own wallets is not taxable, but disposals (like swaps) and crypto that comes in as income (like liquidity mining rewards) are.
  3. Calculate your capital gain or loss on each disposal, plus the value of any crypto income at the time you received it.
  4. 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, see our guide on how to report your cryptocurrency on your taxes.

Because SushiSwap is a decentralized protocol, it gives you no tax forms and no finished tax report: everything lives on-chain, and reconstructing it is your responsibility. That is where crypto tax software comes in. CoinLedger reads the wallet addresses you used on SushiSwap, pulls in your full on-chain history, connects it to every other wallet and exchange you use, 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 SushiSwap?

Yes. Cryptocurrency is treated as property, so in the US and most other countries your SushiSwap activity is subject to two kinds of tax:

  • Capital gains tax. When you swap one token for another on SushiSwap, that is a disposal, so you recognize a capital gain or loss based on how the price of the token you swapped away changed since you received it. The same applies to a cross-chain swap — trading away one asset to receive another is a taxable disposal.
  • Income tax. When you earn crypto — for example, liquidity mining (Onsen) rewards or xSUSHI staking 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.

How is providing liquidity taxed?

The IRS has not issued specific guidance on liquidity provision, so there are two views. The conservative approach treats adding and removing liquidity as a taxable crypto-to-crypto swap (you dispose of your tokens for the liquidity position and back again), giving you a capital gain or loss each way. A more aggressive approach treats it as a non-taxable deposit and withdrawal. Because this is genuinely unresolved, it is worth confirming your approach with a crypto tax professional.

How are gas fees taxed?

Gas fees you pay to acquire or dispose of a token can be added to that asset's cost basis or netted against your proceeds, which lowers your gain. Paying a gas fee in a token like ETH is itself a small disposal of that token.

What tax forms does SushiSwap provide?

None. SushiSwap is a decentralized protocol with no company taking custody of your funds or verifying your identity, so it issues no Form 1099-DA, 1099-MISC, or 1099-B.

You may have read that this was about to change, and that DeFi protocols might have to report like brokers. They do not. The IRS rule that would have required decentralized platforms to report was repealed in April 2025, so no reporting requirement applies to a DEX like SushiSwap. (The separate rule requiring centralized exchanges to issue Form 1099-DA still stands, but it does not apply to non-custodial protocols.) Reconstructing your history and self-reporting it remains your responsibility.

Does SushiSwap report to the IRS?

No. Because it is decentralized and collects no personal information, SushiSwap does not report your activity to the IRS.

That does not make your activity invisible. Transactions on public blockchains like Ethereum are permanent and visible on-chain, and the IRS has worked with analytics firms such as Chainalysis to link wallet addresses to the people behind them, especially once funds touch a KYC exchange. And no reporting does not mean no tax: US persons owe tax on every disposal and all crypto income, and must self-report it whether or not anyone sends a form.

Why isn't my SushiSwap tax report accurate on its own?

Your wallet's SushiSwap history only shows the swaps and transfers tied to that wallet. Because investors move crypto across many wallets, chains, and exchanges, no single source can see the original cost basis of assets you moved in from somewhere else, so it cannot calculate your gains and losses correctly.

Example: why transfers break your cost basis

Kenji buys $1,000 of ETH on a centralized exchange. He moves it to his wallet, and later, when the ETH is worth $1,400, swaps it for another token on SushiSwap.

On its own, the SushiSwap swap looks like a $1,400 disposal, with no record of the $1,000 Kenji originally paid. Without his cost basis, his $400 gain cannot be calculated correctly.

The fix is to bring every wallet, chain, and exchange into one place so your cost basis follows your crypto everywhere it goes. That is exactly what crypto tax software like CoinLedger does.

How to file your SushiSwap taxes in minutes

Because SushiSwap is on-chain, CoinLedger imports your activity directly from the wallet address you used. No API keys or file uploads are required.

  1. In CoinLedger, go to Add Account and choose the blockchain you used SushiSwap on (for example Ethereum), then paste your public wallet address.
  2. CoinLedger scans that address and automatically imports and classifies your SushiSwap swaps, liquidity actions, and rewards.
  3. Repeat for each network you used SushiSwap on, since SushiSwap runs across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, Avalanche, BNB Chain, and many more, and each chain has its own address history.

Anything from a contract CoinLedger does not yet recognize imports as uncategorized and can be labeled in the Review step.

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.
