But if you're in the 0% capital gains bracket, you can reduce future taxes with a lesser-known strategy, experts say. You can leverage the 0% long-term capital gains rate — meaning you won't owe taxes on gains — as long as earnings are below a certain threshold. The income limits for 0% capital gains may be higher than you expect, Gordon said. You calculate taxable income by subtracting the greater of the standard or itemized deductions from your adjusted gross income. If you're in the 0% bracket, you can sell profitable crypto to harvest gains without triggering taxes.

For 2023, there's a "digital assets" question on the front page of Form 1040, along with returns for estates and trusts, partnerships, corporations and S corporations.

The IRS is sharing more details on how to report digital assets for the 2022 tax filing year, according to draft instructions. Since 2019, there's been a yes or no "virtual currency" question on tax returns, requiring filers to check a box to disclose their taxable crypto activity. For 2022, the agency has changed the term "virtual currency" to "digital asset," with more guidance on when to check "yes." Notably, "digital asset" now includes non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, which grant ownership to items like art, and stablecoins, which are pegged to a real-world asset. The "broader language" may include new categories, such as taxpayers receiving digital assets from "play-to-earn games," which have become popular over the past year, he said.
The IRS continues to chase U.S. taxpayers who failed to report and pay taxes on cryptocurrency transactions with a new court order allowing a summons for customer records. The agency will issue a so-called "John Doe summons" requiring M.Y. It's not the first IRS summons for crypto records, but it's unusual because the broker seems to be "quite small," signaling the possibility of more to come, said Andrew Gordon, tax attorney, CPA and president of Gordon Law Group in Skokie, Illinois. While the first summons for crypto tax records triggered IRS letters for unreported income and unpaid taxes, the response took a few years, said Matt Metras, an enrolled agent and cryptocurrency tax specialist at MDM Financial Services in Rochester, New York. "I'm curious to see what happens with all this data they're collecting," said Metras, noting that the IRS may try to match it with investors' tax returns.
