  At BYDFi, we understand that tax season can be a stressful time for cryptocurrency investors. The tax implications at the beginning of the tax year are important to consider. Cryptocurrencies are treated as property by the IRS, which means that gains or losses from your investments are subject to capital gains tax. If you held your cryptocurrencies for less than a year before selling, your gains will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. However, if you held your cryptocurrencies for more than a year, you may qualify for long-term capital gains tax rates, which are usually lower. It's crucial to accurately report your transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with the tax regulations. Remember, staying informed and organized can help you navigate the tax season with confidence.
