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 CoinJar Generate My Tax Forms?

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

Does CoinJar report to the ATO? 

Currently, CoinJar doesn’t report to tax agencies like the ATO and the HRMC. However, the exchange does collect customer information upon sign-up. The site’s privacy policy states that it may be required to disclose personal data to comply with law enforcement and regulatory requests. 

Why doesn’t CoinJar send me tax forms? 

Like most cryptocurrency exchanges, CoinJar doesn’t provide users with complete tax forms. 

Because investors often transfer their crypto between different wallets and exchanges, it’s challenging for exchanges to track cost basis — the investor’s original cost for acquiring their  cryptocurrency. Without this data, it’s difficult to calculate capital gains and losses. 

As a result, the responsibility for accurately tracking and reporting cryptocurrency taxes falls on the investor. 

Of course, manually tracking your cryptocurrency taxes can be difficult. Luckily, there’s an easier way. Crypto tax software like CoinLedger can help you report your cryptocurrency taxes across all your wallets and exchanges in minutes.
