Virtual Currency
Tax Preparation and Accounting Services for Digital and Virtual Currency Transactions
The rise of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, and Dogecoin presents many challenges for businesses. Among them is finding a tax preparation and planning firm that is knowledgeable – and experienced – in taxation issues, and laws and regulations are constantly evolving.
Taxation of Digital and Virtual Currency
Cryptocurrency is a form of digital or virtual payment or currency that can be exchanged online for goods
and services. These exchanges use a secure computer technology platform called blockchain to validate
and record transactions digitally on a digital ledger
Because the IRS defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, it is treated as property for
tax purposes. Therefore, whether you experience a gain or loss, it must be reported on Schedule D of IRS
Form 1040. Long-term gains (assets held more than 12 months) are subject to capital gains tax rates,
whereas short-term gains of less than 12 months are taxed as ordinary income.
