How are Crypto.com transactions taxed?
Most transactions on Crypto.com are taxable under current regulations.
Capital gains tax: Applies when you sell, trade, or spend crypto (including through the Crypto.com Visa Card). The gain or loss is the difference between your sale price and purchase cost (cost basis).
Income tax: Applies to staking rewards, cashback, airdrops, and referral bonuses. The fair market value at the time you receive the crypto is considered income.
CoinTracker automatically tracks both your capital gains and income across Crypto.com and your other exchanges and wallets.
Do I have to pay taxes on Crypto.com?
Yes.
Using the Crypto.com App or Exchange to sell, trade, or spend crypto triggers taxable events.
You don't owe tax for holding crypto, but you do when disposing of assets or earning rewards.
CoinTracker ensures you capture every event accurately, even those across multiple Crypto.com products.
Does Crypto.com provide tax documents?
Yes. Crypto.com provides transaction history reports and official tax statements through its Tax Center.
Depending on your activity, you may also receive IRS forms such as 1099-MISC, 1099-B, or 1099-DA (beginning 2025).
You can also export your full trading and card transaction history and upload it to CoinTracker for automated tax calculations.
How to get your Crypto.com tax documents
Log in to the Crypto.com App or Crypto.com Exchange.
Go to Account → Tax Center (or Settings → Export Data).
Choose your tax year or date range.
Download your CSV reports or official tax forms.
Upload your data to CoinTracker, or connect via API to automatically sync and calculate your tax summary.
When does Crypto.com issue Form 1099-MISC?
Crypto.com issues Form 1099-MISC to eligible U.S. users who earn $600 or more in crypto income (e.g., staking rewards, cashback, or bonuses) during the year.
Forms are distributed by January 31 and also sent to the IRS.
When does Crypto.com issue Form 1099-B?
Starting with the 2025 tax year, Crypto.com (as a registered digital asset broker) will issue Form 1099-B to report crypto disposals such as trades and sales.
It details proceeds, cost basis, and gain/loss for IRS filing, and is due by January 31 each year.
When does Crypto.com issue Form 1099-DA?
Beginning with the 2025 tax year, Crypto.com will issue Form 1099-DA for digital asset transactions, in compliance with new IRS reporting rules.
This form replaces older formats (such as 1099-K) and standardizes how brokers report crypto sales and trades.
Users can expect delivery by January 31 of the following year.
When does Crypto.com issue Form 1099-K?
Crypto.com previously issued Form 1099-K to some users, but this form has been phased out for crypto transactions.
As of 2025, Form 1099-DA replaces it for all reportable digital asset activity.
Why aren't my Crypto.com documents accurate?
Crypto.com's reports only reflect on-platform transactions — they do not include:
Transfers to or from external wallets
DeFi activity outside Crypto.com
NFT or off-platform earnings
CoinTracker consolidates your full portfolio — including Crypto.com, MetaMask, Coinbase, and other wallets — for complete, compliant tax reports.
Does Crypto.com automatically deduct taxes?
No. Crypto.com does not withhold or automatically deduct taxes from your crypto transactions.
You are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on your earnings and gains.
CoinTracker calculates these amounts automatically and generates IRS-ready forms like Form 8949 and Schedule D.
Does Crypto.com report to the IRS?
Yes. Crypto.com reports certain user activity to the IRS via official forms such as 1099-MISC, 1099-B, and (starting in 2025) 1099-DA.
These reports include on-platform activity only, so users should reconcile all crypto activity through CoinTracker to ensure accuracy.
Does Crypto.com provide financial or end-of-year statements?
Yes. You can download account statements, transaction summaries, and exported CSV files directly from the Crypto.com App or Exchange.
Import these into CoinTracker for a complete, end-of-year tax summary that includes all gains, losses, and income.
