Crypto Taxes
“How do I report a crypto token swap on my taxes?”
A crypto token swap often raises both reporting and recordkeeping questions, because the tax treatment can depend on how the swap was structured, what was exchanged, and whether there was a realized gain or loss at the time. In many cases, the key details include the acquisition dates, cost basis, fair market values, and any transaction fees tied to the swap. The answer can also vary depending on whether the tokens were held in a personal wallet, on an exchange, or through a DeFi platform, since those records often look different on tax forms and supporting statements. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
