Crypto Taxes
“How is my crypto airdrop taxed?”
Crypto airdrops are often treated as taxable income when the recipient has control over the tokens, but the result can depend on how the airdrop was received, whether it was tied to a hard fork or promotional distribution, and how the tokens were valued at the time they became available. Recordkeeping also matters, especially the date received, fair market value, and any later sale or exchange. In practice, the tax picture can differ based on whether the airdrop was expected, unsolicited, or connected to another crypto transaction, so the surrounding facts usually shape the reporting. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
