What are the IRS tax benefits of donating cryptocurrency?
- The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as Property.
- Property can be donated to 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.
- When you donate Property in most instances you do not pay capital gains tax.
Please consult your tax professional to discuss your circumstances.
This means donating crypto can be better for your balance sheet compared to exchanging your cryptocurrency to fiat ($USD) prior to donating (which results in paying capital gains tax).
