Calculating Your Tax Liability
To calculate your tax liability, you will need to determine your taxable income. Your taxable income is your total income minus certain deductions and exemptions. Once you have determined your taxable income, you can use the tax brackets to calculate the amount of tax you owe.
Special Considerations for Crypto Income
For 2024, the tax rates for crypto income will vary depending on whether the income is classified as short-term or long-term. Short-term capital gains on crypto assets held for less than one year are taxed at the same rate as your ordinary income. Long-term capital gains on crypto assets held for one year or more are taxed at a maximum rate of 20%.
