Getting paid in crypto by customers
Taxable at fair value
Can You Write Off Getting Paid in Crypto By Customers?
Short answer: Crypto you accept as payment is business income at its dollar value when received; that value becomes your basis for a later gain or loss when you sell.
Brokers now report sales on Form 1099-DA.
Records to keep: Keep the receipt, proof of payment, and a note or log showing business use; for mixed-use items, track the business percentage.
