Cryptocurrency exchanges around the world are starting to report more and more information to government agencies. In this guide, we analyze Ledger’s tax reporting policies within United States. We’ll also break down a simple way to report your Ledger taxes in minutes.

Does Ledger report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

Ledger does collect Know Your Customer (KYC) information from customers who trade cryptocurrency through Ledger Live. However, Ledger does not collect information from customers who simply use the company’s hardware wallet.

It’s important to remember that transactions on blockchains like Ethereum are publicly visible and permanent. Tax agencies around the world analyze blockchain transactions to match ‘anonymous wallets’ to known investors.

Do I have to pay taxes on my Ledger transactions?

Yes. In the United States, your transactions on Ledger and other platforms are subject to income and capital gains tax.

If you’ve earned or disposed of (ex. Sold or traded away cryptocurrency) during the year, you’ll have a tax liability to report to the IRS.

Is moving crypto to Ledger a taxable event?
