As digital assets continue to grow in popularity, so does the oversight from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Have you done any of the following with digital assets:


  • Donated directly to a 501(c)(3) organization
  • Gifted more than the IRS limits
  • Converted to cash
  • Converted from one crypto to another
  • Purchased goods or services
  • Accepted payment and/or paid someone in crypto
  • Mined crypto
  • Earned staking rewards, airdrops, or received crypto from a hard fork


If so, you may have tax reporting requirements. Whether it is gift tax reporting, ordinary income, or short-term/long-term capital gains, there could be tax implications. But the real question is, do you know the cost basis of your assets?
