This conversation made me wonder about the tax reporting requirements of accepting listener donations in cryptocurrency. So I did a little research. Cryptocurrency is treated as property, so when you receive it you establish the cost basis using the fair market value on that day. That also tells you how much income to report on your tax return. As you sell the cryptocurrency or use it to buy something, you calculate the capital gain or loss of the currency used. That can be a complicated calculation if you spend a combination of crypto with different cost basis. Then you declare the short or long-term gain or loss (as appropriate) in your tax return. It’s not “free money” that you receive and spend without consequence. But don’t take my word for it – I’m not a CPA. Do your own research.
