How it works
The IRS treats crypto as property, so selling, swapping, or spending it is a taxable event. Hold over a year and the gain gets preferential long-term rates; sell sooner and it’s taxed as ordinary income at your marginal bracket.
Frequently asked questions
Is swapping one coin for another taxable?
Yes. Trading one cryptocurrency for another is a disposal of the first, triggering a gain or loss even though no dollars touched your bank account. Each swap needs to be tracked for tax.
