How Cryptocurrency Taxes Work

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property by many governments around the world—including 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.

For a complete and in-depth overview, please refer to our Complete Guide to Cryptocurrency Taxes.

How To Do Your Crypto 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. US 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 Uphold Generate My Tax Forms?

Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of Uphold. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with Uphold's reporting is that it only extends as far as the Uphold platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of Uphold, Uphold can't provide complete gains, losses, and income tax information.

How are my Uphold transactions taxed? 

Cryptocurrencies are considered property and are subject to capital gains tax upon disposal and ordinary income tax when earned. 

Capital gains tax: Every time you dispose of cryptocurrency, you’ll incur a capital gain or loss depending on how the price of your crypto has changed since you originally received it. Selling your cryptocurrency on Uphold is considered a disposal event. 

Ordinary income tax: When you earn cryptocurrency, you’ll recognize income based on the fair market value of your cryptocurrency.

How is my Uphold debit card taxed? 

The Uphold debit card allows users to spend cryptocurrency and earn rewards. 

While the IRS has not issued guidance on cryptocurrency debit cards, rewards for debit card purchases have long been considered non-taxable rebates. 

For more information, read our blog post on how crypto debit cards are taxed. 

Does Uphold report to the IRS? 

Uphold issues Form 1099-MISC and Form 1099-B to customers and the IRS. These forms contain details about your income and capital gains. 

If you do not report transactions that are contained on your 1099 forms on your taxes, it’s likely that your transaction will be flagged and you will be automatically sent Notice CP2000. 

What should I do if I receive a Form 1099 from Uphold? 

If you receive a Form 1099-B from Uphold, it’s important to note that the IRS also received a copy of this form. 

Unfortunately, these 1099-Bs from cryptocurrency providers like Uphold often do not have all the information you need to accurately report your taxes (more on this in the section below).

Why doesn’t Uphold give me a complete tax report? 

Form 1099-B can contain inaccuracies if you’ve ever transferred cryptocurrencies into or out of Uphold. 

Because investors often transfer cryptocurrencies between different platforms, it’s very difficult for exchanges to track original cost basis and gross proceeds for each individual coin. Unfortunately, this is information that’s needed to calculate your capital gains and losses. 

Luckily, there’s an easier way to file your crypto taxes. Cryptocurrency tax software like CoinLedger can generate a complete crypto tax report in minutes.
