I'm curious to understand the tax implications of selling cryptocurrency. Could you please elaborate on the process and how much tax one might have to pay? I understand that it likely depends on various factors, but could you provide a general overview? For instance, do you pay capital gains tax based on the difference between the purchase and sale price? Are there any specific thresholds or exemptions that might apply? It would be helpful to know the general guidelines and considerations one should make when calculating their tax liability after selling cryptocurrency. How much tax do you pay if you sell cryptocurrency?

If you have held the cryptocurrency for a period of one year or less, you will be subject to the short-term tax rate.
