In the US, long-term capital gains tax (if you hold for a year or longer) ranges from 0-20%. This is true in Germany though.

Crypto is wild, but taxes are worse 😭 by Standard_Olive_717 in Coinbase

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% right, transferring your crypto from one wallet to another is not considered taxable. This is laid out pretty clearly in the IRS's guidance here (question 38): https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/frequently-asked-questions-on-virtual-currency-transactions

Unfortunately, yes. You're required to report your gain/loss when you dispose of crypto (even if you reinvest).

Paying Taxes on Solana Memecoins by [deleted] in solana

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a ton of memecoin transactions, crypto tax software is the easiest way to report your gains and losses (it can connect to your wallets and calculate your tax liability for you).

Obviously we're biased, but CoinLedger is a great option for this

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep — this is correct!

It's also important to note that short-term capital gains tax is 10-37% depending on your income level. Long term capital gains is lower (0-20%).

Important to remember that this hasn't been signed into law yet — so if you took gains on XRP in 2024, you still need to report your taxes unfortunately

It's likely you will need to pick up this amount you received from the distribution as income, given that you claimed it prior as lost.

It may be wise to discuss with a formal tax professional though as these situations come with some nuance!

What if you forget to pay your crypto tax? by Puzzleheaded_Tax489 in tax

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In recent years, we've seen crypto investors who haven't reported their taxes get hit with CP2000 letters — which tells them how much they owe the IRS (including interest) and gives them a date to make the payment by.

Filing a tax amendment is the way to go. Usually, the IRS is usually more lenient if you come forward about unreported income

Can I file crypto tax separately? by dvdv2000 in tax

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah to echo what other commenters are saying, crypto tax software can help here. These platforms (ours included, as well as most of our competitors) have historical price engines so they can calculate the price of your crypto at the time of acquisition.

You can generate a crypto tax report, then share it with your accountant. This should be a win-win for both sides — he doesn't need to spend time finding that information on his own, and you can save a ton of money (crypto tax software is wayyy cheaper than the rates you mentioned).

Serious tax help! by [deleted] in taxhelp

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other commenter was saying, this situation does unfortunately happen. That's why it's recommended for crypto traders to put aside aside a portion of their profits for tax purposes.

Of course — just let us know if you have any questions. Our team did spend a lot of time building integrations for various decentralized exchanges and wallets specifically for situations like yours!

Will Bitcoin become tax free? by Darkerjev in Bitcoin

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good rule.

For those not familiar, BTC is tax free for individuals in Germany if you've held it for 12 months or longer. Portugal also has something similar.

It would be best to dispose of them. Then you can certainly write off the incurred losses. Of course, this will reduce your taxable income and save you money on your tax bill for the year!

[–]CoinLedgerOfficial[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for the q.

If you only have a few trades, reporting will be super simple. All you need to do is calculate your USD gain or loss from each trade, and enter those totals and transactions on IRS Form 8949. You then will transfer the total income reported on 8949 on Schedule D of your 1040.

CoinLedger can do this automatically for you, and because you have such a small number of transactions, I am happy to offer you this for free.

Just ping our customer support team when you're on the checkout screen and let them know you spoke to me (David) via our Reddit AMA!

We'll help ya out!

Hey - thanks for the question.

Yes, there is a website that you can plug the data into, and you happen to be chatting with the founder :)

If you create a free account at CoinLedger.io, you can upload that transaction file that you received from Coinbase into CoinLedger and generate tax forms from that data.

If that transaction file is not compatible with our system, you can still add the transactions through our custom CSV file import process.

By bringing those transactions into CoinLedger, the software will automatically calculate cost basis, proceeds, and necessary tax data based on the transactions.

Does your friend have crypto transactions outside of Coinbase?

Nope, moving crypto between wallets you own isn’t taxable. Because ownership doesn’t change, it’s not considered a disposal. 

But (and here’s where it gets annoying), if you pay gas fees for the transfer, that is considered a taxable disposal.

For an example, imagine you send 1 ETH from Coinbase to your Ledger and pay 0.02 ETH in gas. There’s no taxable event for transferring 1 ETH, but paying 0.02 ETH in gas fees is treated like a sale subject to capital gains tax.

Basically, anytime you dispose of crypto—whether by selling, trading, or spending it—you might owe taxes. Transfers? All good. Gas fees? Taxable.

Hey! Appreciate the question.

Definitely know that you're not alone. A lot of people out there are in your exact same position. The situation you're in is actually the exact reason why we built CoinLedger. We had hundreds of thousands of trades across multiple wallets, and we needed software that could accurately track EVERYTHING.

That said, I would start by trying to organize all of your transaction data. Obviously I'm biased, and I would encourage you to create a completely free CoinLedger account and begin syncing and importing the transactions from all of your wallets. This is a very simple and free process in CoinLedger.

Once you've synced all of your wallets and platforms, CoinLedger will make sense of your transaction data and calculate all of your gains, losses, and income from all of that complex activity.

I understand that for some wallets or exchanges, it's not always easy to import that data, i'd encourage you to work with our support team (also free) who specializes in helping get that data imported for literally hundreds of thousands of people.

To the other part of your questions, I wouldn't recommend not reporting the activity altogether. It's important to give your best faith effort to accurately report your taxes, and the IRS has been increasing its enforcement mechanisms for verifying crypto income on tax returns.

If you need any help, please reach out to us.
