Cryptocurrency taxes
I've purchased some crypto coins but haven't traded them. I also got some coins as gifts. Is any of that taxable? What about the couple of trades I did in the last month of the year. Since I made money, I imagine I'll have to pay tax on that.

Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Details about Cryptocurrency and how to report it can be found on this IRS tax publication NOTICE 2014-21
My understanding is that if you buy Cryptocurrency and sell it for a profit within the year it is a short term gain.
And if you hold it longer than one year and ultimately sell it for a profit later it is a long term gain.
The two types of gains are taxed differently and the capital gains taxable income amounts change subject to new tax laws.
