Crypto income report

Not all crypto tax comes from selling. Crypto you earn — through staking, mining, airdrops, rewards, lending, or as payment — is usually taxed as income when you receive it. CryptaTax's income report captures all of it, valued correctly.

General information, not tax advice. How crypto income is taxed depends on your country — see your country guide.

What's in the report

For each income event, the report shows:

  • the type (staking, mining, airdrop, reward, lending, or payment),
  • the date received and the asset,
  • the value at receipt in your local currency — which is what most countries tax as income, and what becomes the cost basis for capital gains when you later sell those coins.

Getting the receipt-day value right matters twice: it sets your income figure now, and your gain or loss later. → Crypto tax guides →

How you use it

Crypto income usually goes on a different part of your return from capital gains — for example, Schedule 1 in the US, or the miscellaneous income section of the SA100 in the UK. The income report gives you those totals; your country guide explains where they go. → Crypto tax by country →

Generate it with CryptaTax

Import your exchanges and wallets, and CryptaTax identifies your income events, values each one at the time you received it, and produces the income report — separate from your capital gains, with the detail behind every figure.

FAQ

What counts as crypto income?

Staking rewards, mining, airdrops, lending rewards, and crypto received as payment are generally income at their value on the day you receive them.

Why does the receipt value matter?

It's both your taxable income now and the cost basis for working out capital gains when you later sell the coins.

Where does crypto income go on my return?

That depends on your country — for example, Schedule 1 in the US or the miscellaneous income section of the SA100 in the UK. See your country guide.

Does CryptaTax separate income from capital gains?

Yes. It produces an income report and a capital gains report separately, so each lands in the right place on your return.
