Thanks for all your help guys. So I guess in my example (which really was just a hypothetical example) I would have to figure out the value of the tv, let's say value was $5,000 USD. And he pays me 1BTC on March 9 when the price of BTC was $5,300 USD. So I guess my 'cost' basis would be $5,300. Then when I sell the BTC later on at $15,500 my capital gains would be $10,200 ($15,500-$5,300) and I would pay taxes on that.

Let's say I buy 1 BTC at $10,000.

I sell my tv to my friend and he pays me 1 BTC for it. So now I have a grand total of 2 BTC. Let's assume I have no idea what the price of BTC was at the time I sold the tv.

Today BTC is going for $15,500. Let's say I sell both of my BTC today (held less than 1 year). How do I figure out the capital gains on this? Thanks in advance! Smiley

How do I figure out the taxes for the extra Bitcoins? I live in US.
Because you want to know about taxes and you live in the US.

You try to learn about this, maybe this can help you to find out how much tax is issued, if you sell Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency taxes apply in different countries and in different ways everywhere. Both at the EU level and at the G20 summits, negotiations were held on the unification of the classification and taxation of cryptocurrencies around the world, but this is either a pipe dream or a nightmare, or for many years to come true.

Note:
If you don't understand how to use what is said in the above topic, you can ask about taxation in that thread, later @Ratimov will provide detailed directions for you.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, that link only contains the most basic of informations, like "Why you should report BTC gains". I understand the basic ins and outs of how to calculate my capital gains tax for BTC. I wish it were straight forward, buy 4 shares at $8700 each, sell 4 shares at $13,500, calculate the gains, report it, and call it a day. My situation isn't simple or straight forward.

I bought some BTC back in Nov 2019 at $8700/piece. The online betting site uses BTC and I won some BTC. I plan to sell all my BTC in Nov 2020 exactly 1 year so I can get the lower tax rate. However, I will have more BTC than when I started because of the gambling winnings. How do I figure out the taxes for the extra Bitcoins? I live in US.
