in today's article I will solve your all fucking problem that resist you to paying tax investment in crypto market every thing
THE MOST COMMON 7 QUESTION THAT DEFINITELY CLEAR YOUR DOUBT ABOUT CRYPTO TAXES AND CRYPTOCURRENCY IN USA, UK
#1) IF I SELL MY CRYPTOCURRENCY AND MAKE MONEY WILL I GET TAXED IF DON'T TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT ?
ans-: so, if you leave your money leave whatever you made in your cryptocurrency account
that you don't have to pay taxes but this is not a Roth IRA there is no tax free money in this
situation so, yes you have to pay your tax
#2) IF I BUY BITCOIN OR ANY CRYPTOCURRENCY WHETHER IT IS
ETHERIUM, DOGE AND IT GOES UP AND I DON'T SELL, DO I NEED TO PAY
TAXES ?
ans-: if you buy any cryptocurrency etherium, bitcoin and if you just hold it as it
continuous to go up so, here we are looking at you hodlers or holders, whatever you wanna
call yourselves if you are just holding and you've not done anything to trigger a taxable
event or a taxable consequence, then there is nothing to report that this is no different than
if you were to buy a stock and just hold it once you sell it, that's when we start looking at is
there some sort of taxable event so if you are a hodler and you are just holding, no tax has
to be paid
#3 HOW MUCH TAX WILL I OWE? / MEAN IF I HAVE A PROFIT, IF THERE IS
A GAIN, YOU'VE BOUGHT BITCOIN AND YOU SOLD IT AND YOU MADE
SOME MONEY, HOW MUCH TAX DO YOU PAY ?
ans-: we are looking at cryptocurrency like an individual stock or any investment for that
matter you're either gonna have short-term capital gains
# short term capital gains
# long term capital gains
let's start with long term capital gains so the most that you can pay on long term capital
gains is 20%, so it doesn't matter how much you make you're capped at 20%
SO WHAT DEFINE A LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINS ?
that means that would have to buy or bought you cryptocurrency and have held it for at least
one year so for 365 plus days , you can't buy it today sell it nine months from now
you can't buy it tomorrow, sell it six months from now, and it count as a long term capital
gains.
you have to own it at least one year
if you're making over 441,000$ if you are single. you can pay the most 15% if you're in that
income bracket when you are making between 40,000 to 441,000 so you can actually pay
less than that 20% but the 20% is the most that you can pay
SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAINS
so any thing less than one year would be considered what's called a short-term capital gain
so if you are buying and selling and one year has not passed, now you are looking at what's
called the short term capital gains.
Demerits of short term ?
well, why the most people don't like that's the reason behind is that you don't get that
favorable tax treatment of paying that max 20% that you have with the long term capital
gains with short-term capital gains is all considered what is called ordinary income,
which basically just means that whatever tax bracket that you are currently in, that how
much tax you have to pay so if you are in a lower tax bracket, so that's good if your tax
bracket lower than that 20% that we mentioned with long term capital gains.
but if say that situation in which if you were to buy something, if you were to buy bitcoin
today, sell it a month from now, make 10 or 15000$, you will have to pay with the
currently tax rate is 37% on whatever profit that you made. like if you want to sell
something which rate is going down in that case you have to pay 37% tax on a gain.
#4 WHAT IS THE TAX TREATMENT IF I AM LENDING OUT MY ANY CRYPTOCURRENCY / BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, ETHEREUM?
ans-: let me explain with some example if i am a customer of " A " (name) company
i have also account of company "A" and i am earning interest on my cryptocurrency
that i have held with them or custodied with them, and the they are then lending out to other institutions.
so because i am "allowing" them to lend out this cryptocurrency, they are paying me a
interest rate on that. for example if you deposit your bitcoin with company "A" and they
are paying you 5%. if you have ethereum, they're paying you a four and half a percent.
if you wanna go the stable coin route, so for example, USDC or GUSD in those instances,
you are getting paid up to 8.6% interest. so this is treated as actually interest income.
that you are just add to your overall income and that add that to your tax bill.
so that is how interest works.
#5 CAN I REINVEST MY CRYPTOCURRENCY GAINS TO DEFER OR AVOID TAXES ?
ans-: well, this is a good question there are a certain investments where you can do a roll
over i mean to say that there is very unbalanced conditions. most common would be rolling
over a 401(k) into an IRA. in that instance you don't have to pay tax.
there is also a certain transection that you can execute with real estate properties, where you
can do a 1035, like to like exchange. In those situation, you can defer paying your tax. you
can do the exact same thing with an annuity.
so with cryptocurrency, is there a way to roll over your cryptocurrency investments? Is there
way to do a 1035, like to like exchange?
Unfortunately, there is not. there is no way to avoid or now way to defer your tax.
So basically when you buy it, you 're earning interest on lending cryptocurrency, or you selling it and making a profit, that you gonna have to pay your tax.
