- Jan 11, 2022 · 3 years agoCalculating and reporting taxes on capital gains from digital assets can be a bit complex, but here's a general overview of the process. First, you'll need to determine your cost basis, which is the original purchase price of your digital assets. Next, you'll need to calculate the capital gains by subtracting the cost basis from the selling price. Finally, you'll report the capital gains on your tax return, usually on Schedule D. It's important to keep accurate records of all your transactions and consult with a tax professional for specific advice based on your situation.
