Tune into a podcast or TV, read an article in\u00a0<i>The Economist\u00a0<\/i>or on a gossip site, and it\u2019s NFTs. Maybe you even know NFT stands for: non-fungible token. If I own, buy, or sell one, how do I report that on my taxes? Because, guess what, the IRS has been silent on NFTs.<\/p>\n<h2>What are NFTs?<\/h2>\n<p>First things first. What are NFTs? Turns out non fungible tokens are a bad place to start. How can you explain non fungible unless you understand fungible? So, I\u2019m going to start with fungible tokens and the concept of fungibility.<\/p>\n<p>Fungible is a fancy word economists and other intellectuals who make consistently wrong predictions use. What it really means is interchangeable. Let\u2019s illustrate with a simple example.<\/p>\n<p>I have a $20 bill (or I have one bitcoin. You also have a $20 bill and one bitcoin. I can give you mine, and you can give me yours. We both still have exactly same thing. In fact, if you have $1,000 and 10 bitcoins, then I can still trade mine with a $20 bill and one bitcoin portion of what you have. That\u2019s because they\u2019re interchangeable.<\/p>\n<p>In a different example, say we both have salads. If I have tomatoes, I can trade them for your zucchini. But tomatoes aren\u2019t zucchini. So, tomatoes and zucchini in salads are non fungible, even if they are tradeable. Similarly with cars. I can trade my 327cc 1965 Corvette engine for yours if we have the same model. But if you have a Mustang, that\u2019s not going to work.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that if two people exchange what each of them has\u2014and you still can\u2019t tell the difference because they are the same thing\u2014they are fungible. If you can\u2019t do that, they are non fungible.<\/p>\n<h2>Why NFTs are non fungible<\/h2>\n<p>Each NFT has a unique characteristic that makes it different from any other NFT. You can trade one for another or negotiate a deal involving other considerations, but you can\u2019t just exchange them. This is because every NFT had digital content. Digitally, each NFT is unique and the owner of the NFT therefore owns that digital content. Artists have been creating NFTs and selling them. People who buy NFTs thus become the owners of the digital content in that NFT.<\/p>\n<p>Is there more to it than just digital content ownership? Sure, but this is all you need to know to understand the tax consequences.<\/p>\n<h2>NFTs and taxes<\/h2>\n<p>There are three common tax cases here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You create NFTs for sale as a business.<\/li>\n<li>Your NFT activities are just a hobby.<\/li>\n<li>You are an NFT investor, where you buy, sell and trade NFTs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s examine the most common differences.<\/p>\n<h3>NFT creators<\/h3>\n<p>If you are an artist or part of a team that\u2019s creating NFTs, you are operating a business. That means your income is subject to the same rules that the IRS uses for any trade or business. This means you are subject to both income tax (varies based on your income and deductions) and self-employment tax.<\/p>\n<p>However, you are also allowed deductions for operating your business. Examples of deductions you should be aware of are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost of the computer(s) used to design your NFTs.<\/li>\n<li>Software expenses: Canva, Photoshop, Illustrator, Shutterstock, and other programs.<\/li>\n<li>Cost of setting up your business entity.<\/li>\n<li>Advertising, branding, and marketing expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Internet expenses, including domains, hosting, security, payment processing, and website content and maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>So called <a href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\/en\/developers\/docs\/gas\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gas fees<\/a> for minting the NFTs\u2014if you mint and pay the gas fees yourself.<\/li>\n<li>Online classes you take to learn more about your trade.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/taxedright.com\/home-office-deduction\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Home office deduction<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Business use portion of your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To calculate your NFT business net income, take all the income from the sales of your NFTs and subtract all your deductions. Remember, you will have to pay income tax and self-employment tax on your NFT business net income.<\/p>\n<h3>NFT hobbyists<\/h3>\n<p>The IRS has different rules if you create and sell NFTs as a trade or business vs. just as a hobby. There are pros and cons to being an NFT hobbyist.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pro: You will no longer be subject to the extra self-employment tax.<\/li>\n<li>Cons: You will no longer be able to deduct expenses and will not get the\u00a0home office deduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order for it to be a for-profit activity, you would need to show profit motive. The IRS looks at eight main factors:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How you carry on the activity.<\/li>\n<li>Your expertise.<\/li>\n<li>Time and effort you put into the activity.<\/li>\n<li>Your expectation.<\/li>\n<li>Your success in other activities.<\/li>\n<li>History of profit or loss from the activity.<\/li>\n<li>The 3-of-5 year test: If you\u2019re not profitable for 3-of-5 years, the IRS may claim it\u2019s a hobby.<\/li>\n<li>Are there recreation or personal motives ties to the activity?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>NFT investors<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re trading NFTs as an investor, there are different tax rules than there are for business operators. The tax rules for investors are similar to trading stocks, as in capital gains taxes. In other words, if you are trading like an investor, there is no self-employment tax on the flipping of NFTs. However, there are some things you should be aware of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Capital gains:\u00a0If you flip an NFT in less than one year, it\u2019s classified as a short-term <a href=\"https:\/\/taxedright.com\/how-does-capital-gains-tax-work\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">capital gain<\/a>, which is subject to ordinary income tax. If you hold on to the NFT for one year or longer, the gain is classified as a long-term capital gain.<\/li>\n<li>Gas fees:\u00a0When you purchase an NFT, your fas fee\u2014the cost of the transaction\u2014is added to the basis of the NFT. When you sell the NFT, the gas fee is subtracted from the proceeds.<\/li>\n<li>USD:\u00a0In the United States, all gains and losses should be calculated on the value of USD (U.S. dollars) at the time of the transaction.<\/li>\n<li>Collectibles tax (28%):\u00a0The jury is not out yet on whether NFTs are collectibles, which are subject to a special \u201ccollectibles\u201d 28% long-term capital gains tax. The IRS code defines collectible subject to 28% as \u201cany work of art,\u201d or \u201cany other tangible personal property.\u201d NFTs are clearly not tangible, but they are works of art. To complicate matters further, some large CPA firms and law firms have taken the position of \u201cstatutory construction,&#8221; where works of art really mean tangible works of art. NFTs are digital content, so they\u2019re non-tangible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other crypto tax stuff you should know<\/h2>\n<h3>Airdrops<\/h3>\n<p>Airdrops should be reported as ordinary income, not subject to self-employment tax) on Schedule 1, Line 8z of a tax return.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25699\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png\" alt=\"NFT1\" width=\"640\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png 1168w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png?resize=124,150 124w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png?resize=249,300 249w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png?resize=768,927 768w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png?resize=700,845 700w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png?resize=740,893 740w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT1.png?resize=720,869 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your basis in the airdrop will be the amount you pay ordinary income tax on; for example, if your airdrop was worth $2,000 USD when you received it, that is what you report on your tax return as ordinary income, and $2,000 is your basis in the Airdrop.<\/p>\n<p>What if you receive an NFT as an airdrop? Same rules apply. However, if there\u2019s no value that can be determined and no market, your basis will be zero. However, if there\u2019s a market already established, you must report the value as ordinary income.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Any gains after you sell the airdrop will therefore be capital gains, either short-term or long-term, depending on how long you hold the NFT.<\/p>\n<h3>Mining income<\/h3>\n<p>If you are a cryptocurrency miner (not talking about physical mining of minerals), then you should know that mining income is classified as ordinary income; however, you can deduct or depreciate your mining rig and the business portion of electricity as an expense against your ordinary income.<\/p>\n<h3>Staking income<\/h3>\n<p>As of this writing, there is a case in the District Court of Tennessee called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/casetext.com\/case\/jarrett-v-united-states-13\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jarrett v. United States<\/a><\/em>. A couple, the Jarretts, are suing the IRS. They allege that the income from staking is not taxable. They argue that when a baker bakes a cake, there is no taxable effect until the cake has been sold. Written in the brief to the court: \u201cLike [a] baker or the writer, Mr. Jarrett will realize taxable income when he first sells or exchanges the new property he created \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All CPA and tax attorney eyes are on this case to see the court decision. I\u2019m certain, whichever way it falls, the loser will file an appeal elevating it from District Court to U.S. Tax Court.<\/p>\n<h3>Front page of a tax return<\/h3>\n<p>The IRS no requires you to check a box on the front page of your tax return if you have bought, held, or sold any virtual currency, during the taxable year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25700\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png\" alt=\"NFT2\" width=\"640\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png 1482w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=150,92 150w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=300,184 300w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=768,472 768w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=700,430 700w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=740,454 740w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=1440,884 1440w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/NFT2.png?resize=720,442 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The future is uncertain<\/h2>\n<p>Is this everything about NFTs and taxes?
