Cash App is partnering with TaxBit to simplify your U.S. individual income tax filing process for Bitcoin transactions. TaxBit helps you generate an IRS Form 8949 to calculate and report any capital gains and losses associated with your bitcoin transactions. TaxBit is free to use when you sign up with your Cash App account.
Learn how to calculate gains and losses with Cash App and TaxBit by following the steps below after logging into or creating your TaxBit account. Your Transactions CSV will be available for download February 15.
To download your Transactions CSV:
- Navigate to Cash App on your desktop
- Click Settings
- Look for Bitcoin under the Taxes section
- Next, tap on your Transactions CSV to download.
- After downloading, this CSV will need to be manually imported into TaxBit to create your IRS Form 8949.
- Your most recent Transactions CSV will include all Cash App bitcoin transactions from the chosen year and will include transactions from previous years.
- If you have previously uploaded a Cash App Bitcoin CSV into TaxBit, you will need to open the CSV and remove any transactions previously uploaded into TaxBit. This will prevent any duplicate transactions.
- Note that this CSV file may contain peer-to-peer transactions involving Bitcoin on Cash App with other Cash App users or transactions involving any external Bitcoin wallet outside of Cash App that may give rise to a taxable gain, loss, gift or other reportable event on your income tax return. In addition, if you received Bitcoin on Cash App via a peer-to-peer transaction or from an external Bitcoin wallet, and sell such Bitcoin on Cash App, you may need to manually enter your cost basis in such Bitcoin on TaxBit. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding any such peer-to-peer or external wallet Bitcoin transactions.
