Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property by many governments around the world—including the U.S. Other forms of property that you may be familiar with include stocks, bonds, and real-estate.
Just like these other forms of property, cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains and losses rules, and you need to report your gains, losses, and income generated from your crypto investments on your taxes.
For a complete and in-depth overview, please refer to our Complete Guide to Cryptocurrency Taxes.
To do your cryptocurrency taxes, you need to calculate your gains, losses, and income from your cryptocurrency investments in your home fiat currency (e.g. USÂ Dollar, Australian Dollar, etc.).
Once you have your calculations, you can fill out the necessary tax forms required by your country. If you are in the United States, you can learn which forms you need to fill out with our blog post: How to Report Cryptocurrency On Your Taxes.
Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of Base. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with Base's reporting is that it only extends as far as the Base platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of Base, Base can't provide complete gains, losses, and income tax information.
By integrating with all of your cryptocurrency platforms and consolidating your crypto data, CoinLedger’s cryptocurrency tax software and crypto portfolio tracker are able to track your profits, losses, income, and generate accurate tax reports in a matter of minutes.
You can test out the software and generate a preview of your gains and losses completely for free by creating an account.

CoinLedger can help you generate a complete tax report in 3 easy steps. This includes transactions from Base and other wallets and exchanges!Â
Step 1: Copy the wallet address you’ve used for your Base transactions.
‍Step 2: Open your CoinLedger account. In the Import step, select Add Account, then search for Base.
Step 3: Paste your wallet address (or Basename) into the box below. CoinLedger will pull your transactions directly from the blockchain!
And that’s it! Once you’re done, you can import your other blockchains and exchanges, and generate comprehensive crypto tax forms in minutes.Â
Just like transactions on other blockchains and Layer-2 solutions, transactions on Base are subject to tax.Â
Income tax: Earning cryptocurrency — such as through airdrops or staking — is considered income based on the fair market value of your crypto at the time of receipt.Â
Capital gains tax: When you sell, trade away, or otherwise dispose of your crypto, you’ll incur a capital gain or loss based on how the price of your crypto has changed since you originally received it.Â
At this time, Base does not send tax forms to users.
It’s your responsibility to track your capital gains and losses and accurately report your taxes to the IRS. You can handle this manually or automatically through crypto tax software.Â
Manual reporting: One option is to manually record your transactions on Base and other crypto platforms. However, this takes serious time and effort. Remember, one missing transaction could lead to inaccurate tax calculations!Â
Automatic reporting: CoinLedger automatically imports your transactions — allowing you to generate a complete tax report in minutes!
If you’re transferring cryptocurrency between different wallets, reporting your taxes can be difficult. You’ll need to track your transactions across all the cryptocurrency platforms you’re using.Â
If you find yourself in this situation, CoinLedger can help. More than 500,000 investors across the globe trust CoinLedger to help them take the stress out of tax reporting.Â
