Just put all your money in a wheelbarrow and take it to the IRS and that's the only way they will be happy.

Then watch 95% of said money be funneled to the richest .01% and that's it.

i just know that one day the IRS will go after us (BTC Miners), why not just give them their cut now. intead of later down the road when BTC is much higher than now?

They'd actually go after the conversion of BTC to fiat, so you wouldnt lose money regardless of when you payed taxes

It's important to stay on top of tax issues in America and play it as safe as possible. The IRS usually doesn't care when people use the excuse "oh I didn't know!"  and they can and will come after things from previous years if they notice it.

To answer your question,  right now there is no guidance from the IRS itself even after repeated requests from businesses and people asking the IRS for clear guidance.   Currently your best bet is to hire an accountant/tax specialist , shop around and try to find one who might have some knowledge of bitcoin.  This really is your best bet,  you can get advice from someone who's career is based on these sort of things and you can rest easy knowing you handled it the best of your abilities. Even if a accountant/tax specialist who doesn't know much about bitcoin, if they are decent at their job they can and will take the time to look into it and develop the best game plane possible and let you know whats required on your end.


edit: Let us know what you find out after talking to tax consultant , I'm sure you're not the only person out there who has the same concerns when it comes to filing taxes and wanting to make sure you handle it the best way possible to avoid potential headaches down the road :)

No, but they'd know if you exchange BTC to fiat  :'(
So they'd easily be able to tax the money you got from selling those bitcoins. If the IRS did decide to tax everyone who converted bitcoin to fiat, I would assume that would be more costly than lucrative for the gov.

Correct, the common assumption from what I've seen is that if you mine, make a profit , and cash out that profit you should treat it as capital gains. Again there are no officials rules on this from the IRS yet but this tends to be the safest thing to assume and the best approach to take from the few articles of read on this issue.   

It is true that unless you were making absurd amounts of money the IRS is very unlikely to ever noticed....but it's also true that when you take a gamble with the IRS and you lose it's a HUGE headache to deal with later.  I've known a few people who have been audited and it's a nightmare to but it mildly.

Indeed... But it also depends on your vehicle of exchange and volume. Should you take the cash road for example... Ok, I stop. I don't cheat Uncle Sam and I'm not telling anyone else to.

AltorXP, your points should be ignored as lunacy. of course the government will tax it. if you don' t pay they throw your ass in the can. its that simple. if i were you, i'd start a savings account and 10% of your earnings each month or week, put in this account. then at the end of the year, you take your bank statement to the tax lady and let her work her magic. write off your internet usage, any software you buy, shipping costs etc. make the system work for you, don't let the system make you work.

Since your only taxed on the capital gains, how would they know what's a "gain", unless you tell them?

Or if you sell your services for Bitcoins how would they charge you income tax unless you tell them?

Your income, assuming you are going to turn bitcoin into fiat, is going to be calculated as a capital gains tax, which will include all the deductions, exemptions, and rates same as any other capital gain tax. That's about 25%, before you kick in investment and other exemptions.

Keep this in mind, unless you plan on doin some time at the big house.


IRS and other gov agencies regularly do audits and look-overs for many different people. If your fiat movement is greater than 10,000 USD a year, you will be on their sights.

If they find out somebody isn't reporting correctly, you are fucked. You ain't setting up that country any time soon, so don't be a bitch and try to get smart. Just try to maximize exemptions and deductions while also maximizing profits.

And no, you will probably pay more, both in life style and security as well as in money, by trying to get yourself out to a non-extrajudicial country.

Many people use the advice of  "oh they wont find out"... it might work well for awhile (or even your whole life)  but that's a huge risk to take.  Unless your an expert at laundering money the IRS will notice and does have access to various ways you spend money that you might think they don't .  People can take whatever risk they want, and they can or even often do get away with it.  That's typically bad advice though, it's usually much better to just be honest as possible and let a tax man/lady handle it for you,  sure you might have some less money at the end of the day but you can also rest a lot easier knowing you're much safer.

Converting BTC to Fiat would be a gain imo
You'd have money in your bank account you didnt have before the conversion.
If they were left as bitcoins (not exchanged for fiat), then I guess they'd only tax once the bitcoins were converted to fiat (which unless you only have bitcoins as a hobby, will happen sometime). No one could really live off only bitcoins (having 100% of their earnings in BTC) until bitcoins become much more mainstream.

I'm not suggesting anyone hide anything from the IRS.  In fact I suggest everyone pay whatever the IRS comes up with.  My point is, just because you sell your bitcoins for fiat does not mean you are taxed on the entire amount.  You pay taxes on the portion that is gained.  If I traded $1,000 all year long in and out of bitcoin, I am only obligated to pay taxes on any amount over the initial $1,000 invested.  Who knows I may have had a loss after the year.  (Deduction?)  This also will all depend on how the IRS decides to classify Bitcoins.  And as far as I know, they have not made any statements.

While that's true there have been cases throughout history of the IRS/Government introducing new laws and then arrested people retroactively. Wouldn't be the first time it's happened and wont be the last.

Bet yes overall unless you are making absurd amounts of money you probably don't need to worry about taxes from bitcoin.  With that said, it's always smart to have a tax lady on hand and let her give you the advice instead of trying to come up with your own advice if you aren't an expert on taxes.

Best advice to give people is to talk to a tax consultant and then make your own decision on how to move foward.

For this reason, I would recommend people keep detailed records of all their transactions and trades.  If you are anything like me, you are using multiple accounts on multiple exchange sites and trading between multiple crypto currencies.  If someone looked at my initial wires to Gox since 2012 they might assume I have made over 5000% profit and wonder where all that money is.  I need to prove that I am a very bad speculator and not rely on the exchanges to keep this information for me.

im playing it safe. Im taking all the bitcoins that I cashed for fiat, subtracting all business expenses and then claim the remainder as income. I know there are better ways to do it, like create an LLC and pay yourself a small salary and then you only have to pay a flat percentage, but since I have so many deductions, this year Ill be fine..

But the OP is correct, its best to start paying taxes now rather than having he IRS track you down later and figure what you owe, plus penalties and interest.

I have a feeling that the IRS will soon have a new "bitcoin" section, if not a 1099-bitcoin form, lol. Be on the safe side. Even if you were to purchase a computer with bitcoin, I would claim the value as income. Miners will have a shit-load of deductions. Normally I would say go talk to a tax consultant, but every one that I have talked to has given me a different answer, so it might be better to ask a tax professional here on bitcointalk.

So far what I am doing is this. I've basically got one huge spreadsheet. I have my expenses on one worksheet, revenues on another worksheet, and profits/taxes on the third. The problem for 2011 and earlier miners is that so much of our mining was profit, we owe the IRS so much money that their lack of specifying currency or commodity is unnerving.

Yes, it'd be wise to keep track of all your coin purchases and basis cost.

If you sell back to fiat then this income is definitely taxable if it is for a gain.

Has anyone tried using www.kryptotax.com (http://www.kryptotax.com) to record their buys, sells and calculate basis cost? I found their site and added a bunch of my transactions, everything seems ok but I was curious if anyone has double-checked their math. There's no mention of them on this forum, so that's kind of unsettling.

I haven't used them. It's a good concept/idea, but most folks can do it manually themselves just using Excel. Still, it might be pretty damn handy for folks that just got started with Bitcoin in the last year or that do multiple exchanges and whatnot.

True, the IRS can't expect us to follow tax rules regarding bitcoin that haven't even been made yet....

You will probably be fine if you are making a reasonable attempt to calculate and pay taxes. It would only matter if you get audited, and in that case it is hard to imagine that you could be penalised for not following rules that didn't exist. At the very worst you would have to retroactively pay extra from previous years.

Most accountants I've seen are suggesting filing as general assets, because it is the general catch all for something that isn't anything else. So you would pay taxes on any capital gains. However, some are going to file as currency, so they can be conservative in taxes owed to ensure you aren't underpaying.

For capital gains, you would still need to calculate the cost basis for each coin when you sell, and I created a website where you can upload all your trade data and we work it all out.

https://bitcointaxes.info

We combine all your trades and work them out in a FIFO list, split and combining as necessary. It shows your long-term and short-term capital gains as well as all your Sales of Assets that can then be included in your IRS Form 8949.

You can also use specific identification to be able to change the order of your trades, which could be beneficial to make them long-term and reduce your tax liability.

It also does alt-coins and cross-coin trading. Cross-coin trading is done assuming they are NOT like-for-like and so calculates the fair value of a coin, e.g. if you bought 100 LTC for 1 BTC, it considers it a Sell of 1 BTC into USD with the daily average price, then buying 100 LTC with that USD. This was the gains on BTC and the cost basis on the LTC can all be calculated.

Check if out. It's free for BTC only trades and there is a Premium version for alt-coins and previous year.

I'm obviously biased, but the last time I checked their site, the main issues is it doesn't account for fees in the costs basis or proceeds. So you will be paying too much tax.

Plus it fails on importing non-USD files (e.g. MtGox). It can't do any alt-coins and is limited on the exchanges it supports. It also doesn't show the cost basis of your remaining coins, which would be absolutely needed for next year.

I'm not in the US nor a US citizen, so no risk of prison for me, even if I were withholding billions in taxes.

On the other hand taxes here are higher than in the US, including capital gain taxes, and I don't really see how you could even count them as such, as you have no real title or some acceptable proof that you bought at said price and sold at said price.

I'm mostly a miner anyway, so a "producer", that's for sure not "capital gains". Insert rant about paying more taxes when you're producing something versus just investing, but in fact in my country (France) the difference is not that much, capital gains still pay for social security, health care etc.

My real problem is the part about deducting costs. I bought expensive hardware (with 20% VAT), paid electricity bills (also taxed), etc. yet the only way to deduce that is to create a company, not really straightforward. The company would then pay corporate taxes, and would have to pay me a salary (lots of taxes there), which would become income for me, adding taxes again. 2/3 of the earnings could be lost in taxes easily (I would get a slightly better pension in 40 years, though).

The French taxman said to just put a number corresponding to the gains into the "other gains" space of the income declaration, but to me doing this, especially if the number is not trivial (we wouldn't be discussing this for 100€ anyway), is asking for trouble, you just painted a big target on yourself.

So for the time being I won't be declaring anything.
