FAQs

If you're a U.S. resident who has bought, sold, or transacted in cryptocurrency, you may have tax obligations. The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as "property," meaning the same tax rules that apply to property transactions also apply to crypto. Since 2019, Form 1040 has included a mandatory question asking whether you had any crypto activity during the year. Crypto taxes can be complex. We recommend reviewing your transaction history or consulting a tax professional to understand your obligations.
Taxable events generally include: selling crypto for cash, converting one cryptocurrency to another, receiving crypto as compensation, earning staking or other crypto rewards, using crypto to pay for goods or services, and receiving airdrops.
Non-taxable events generally include: transferring crypto between your own wallets (within Gate US or across exchanges), purchasing crypto with cash and holding it, donating crypto to a registered charity or qualified non-profit, and gifting crypto up to $16,000 per recipient in 2022 ($17,000 in 2023).
The cost basis is the original purchase price of your cryptocurrency. It serves as the baseline for calculating whether a sale or trade resulted in a capital gain or loss — determined at the time of purchase.
Gate US is required to issue a 1099-MISC form to eligible customers who earned $600 or more from staking rewards or referral bonuses in 2023. If you meet this threshold, your form will be available in the Tax Statements portal.
