Crypto Tax Basics (US)
The IRS treats crypto as property. Selling, trading, or spending crypto triggers a taxable event. Gains held under 1 year are taxed as ordinary income (up to 37%). Gains held over 1 year qualify for preferential long-term capital gains rates (0%, 15%, or 20%).

- 15%: Income up to $518,900 (single) / $583,750 (married)
