If you sell Bitcoin for a profit, use it to pay for services and products, or earn it as income, you are subject to taxation. This is called a capital gains tax, which is a tax on the gains you’ve made between purchase and sale.
Your tax rate will depend on various factors. In the United States, if you held onto your Bitcoin for over a year, you may be eligible for a lower tax rate than if you held onto it for a shorter period of time. Other countries have different rules, and some pay zero taxes on crypto capital gains at all.
In case you’re subject to taxation in the U.S., you’ll need to export your Bitcoin transactions and export them for reporting. And you can easily do it through CoinLedger using our export feature. Here's the step-by-step:
