How Cryptocurrency Taxes Work
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property by many governments around the worldâincluding 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.
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. USÂ 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 OpenSea Generate My Tax Forms?
Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of OpenSea. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with OpenSea's reporting is that it only extends as far as the OpenSea platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of OpenSea, OpenSea can't provide complete gains, losses, and income tax information.

By integrating with all of your cryptocurrency platforms and consolidating your crypto data, CoinLedgerâs 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.

This year, OpenSea saw billions of dollars of transaction volume. While thousands of NFT creators and traders realized hefty profits while using the platform, many are unsure how to report this income on their tax returns.Â
In this guide, weâll break down what investors need to know about how NFTs on OpenSea are taxed (and share a simple step-by-step process for reporting NFT transactions on your tax return).Â
What is OpenSea?Â
OpenSea is the oldest and largest marketplace for NFTs and other crypto-collectibles. OpenSea was founded in 2017 by Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah, who envisioned a future where blockchain technology would enable unique ownership of any physical or digital product.Â
Today, OpenSeaâs interface makes it easy to find and trade user-owned digital products. As a result, demand is growing at unprecedented rates. In August 2021, OpenSea recorded a stunning $3.4 billion in transaction volume.Â
How are NFTs taxed?Â
NFTs are considered property and are taxed similarly to other crypto-assets.Â
When you buy an NFT with a cryptocurrency such as Ethereum, you will incur capital gains or capital losses depending on how the price of your disposed crypto has changed since you originally received it.Â
When you sell an NFT, you will incur capital gains or capital losses depending on how the price of your NFT has fluctuated since you originally received it.Â
If you mint an NFT, you will need to report proceeds from primary and secondary sales as ordinary income.Â
OpenSeaâs privacy policy states the company reserves the right to disclose user data to stay compliant with relevant laws. In addition, itâs likely that OpenSea will be required to report user transactions to the IRS in the near future due to the passage of the U.S. infrastructure bill.Â
Why canât OpenSea generate my tax forms for me?
Because of the complexities of NFT taxes, itâs difficult for any NFT marketplace to generate complete tax records.Â
For example, imagine buying an NFT on OpenSea with Ethereum. How much you incur in capital gains depends on the original purchase price of your ETH. Unfortunately, NFT marketplaces like OpenSea do not have access to this information and therefore cannot help you calculate your capital gains.Â
Luckily, thereâs another way to keep track of your OpenSea taxes: leveraging a crypto tax software like CoinLedger.Â
How can I calculate my OpenSea taxes?Â
CoinLedger can help simplify the process of reporting your OpenSea taxes. All you have to do is type in your Ethereum address and weâll take care of the rest.Â
1. Within the CoinLedger platform, select âImportâ and select the option âEthereum Walletâ.Â
2. Copy and paste your wallet address.
3. You will be able to see all your buying and selling transactions that took place with that specific wallet â including any transactions conducted on OpenSea.Â
And thatâs it! Once youâve imported all of your crypto transactions for the year from NFT marketplaces, centralized exchanges, and DeFi protocols, youâll be able to generate a tax report with the click of a button.Â
File your crypto taxes in minutesÂ
Trying to sort through your NFT taxes can be stressful. CoinLedger can help.Â
CoinLedgerâs direct integration with the Ethereum blockchain takes away the pain of manually tracking your NFT gains and losses. Donât feel the need to keep a record of all your transactions â instead, generate a comprehensive tax report with just a few clicks.Â
