A taxable event in cryptocurrency is generally a sale or trade of a digital asset. Taxable events occur when a crypto asset is traded/exchanged for cash or another cryptocurrency. Exchanging cryptocurrency for a good or service is also a taxable event. When transferring cryptocurrency from an exchange to another, one wallet or another, or converting digital currency to another, the IRS views all of these transactions as unique taxable events. Cryptocurrency often requires a string of transactions to fully convert or sell the assets. In these scenarios, Ledgible's transaction tracing capability allows users to minimize their tax burdens without having to worry about fully tracing the path of each transaction through various blockchains.
The IRS is ramping up its enforcement of cryptocurrency tax evasion. For anyone that has failed to report cryptocurrency transactions in the past, now. is the time to report past capital gains and losses. Luckily, Ledgible works for past tax years too, automatically allowing you to generate reports after hooking up your accounts.

Yes according to the IRS cryptocurrency guidelines, the sale or other exchange of virtual currencies, or the use of virtual currencies to pay for goods or services, or holding virtual currencies as an investment, generally has tax consequences that could result in tax liability.
Crypto currency tax obligations vary greatly in complexity. Generally speaking, your tax obligations will be based on disposal events. If the disposal date is less than a year after acquisition, it can be considered short-term capital gains and you will be taxed based on your income bracket. If the virtual currency is disposed later than one year, it is considered long-term capital gains and the tax rate is 0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income and filing status.
