Cryptocurrency Tax Reporting in Near East, OH
The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property — meaning every sale, every trade, and every spending event creates a taxable gain or loss. Near East crypto traders often realize after April 15 that buying Bitcoin in 2021, trading some for ETH in 2022, and spending some on goods in 2023 created multiple taxable events. We use crypto tax software (CoinTracker, Koinly, TokenTax) to import exchange data, calculate cost basis, and produce IRS-ready Form 8949 reporting.

I bought crypto and never sold. Do I owe taxes?+
No — buying and holding crypto is not a taxable event. You owe taxes only when you sell, trade, spend, or earn crypto. Holding is fine; HODL doesn't trigger taxes. Just keep your purchase records (cost basis) for when you eventually do sell.
I traded Bitcoin for Ethereum. Is that taxable?+
Yes. Crypto-to-crypto trades are taxable as if you sold Bitcoin for USD, then bought Ethereum with USD. You owe capital gains tax on the difference between your Bitcoin cost basis and its fair market value at the time of the trade. Many traders miss this and only report fiat conversions.
I lost crypto in a hack or rug pull. Can I deduct it?+
Theft losses on investment property were eliminated for tax years 2018-2025 by the TCJA, with limited exceptions. Capital losses from worthless investments (provable rug pulls) may still be claimable in some cases. Lost passwords / hardware wallets with provable inability to access — we evaluate case by case.
