Do You Owe Crypto Taxes in 2026? IRS Rules & the New Form 1099-DA Explained

Описание: Do you actually owe crypto taxes in 2026 — and on what, exactly? The IRS treats crypto as property, not currency, which means selling, swapping, or spending crypto can trigger capital gains tax, while simply buying and holding it does not. This video explains the rules in plain English so you know what counts and what does not.

We cover short-term vs long-term capital gains, the 2026 long-term rates of 0%, 15%, and 20%, and why staking rewards are taxed as ordinary income the moment you gain control of them under IRS Revenue Ruling 2023-14 — with a second tax event when you later sell those rewards. You will also learn how tax-loss harvesting works for crypto, why the wash-sale rule does not currently apply the same way it does to stocks, and how the new Form 1099-DA broker reporting changes what the IRS sees about your sales.

We also explain cost-basis tracking per wallet, the $3,000 annual capital-loss offset, record-keeping habits that save you headaches at tax time, and the common reporting mistakes that trigger penalties. This is general education, not tax advice — but after watching, you will know the right questions to ask a tax professional.
