Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When a reward is received from staking delegation, the tax treatment depends on the type of reward. If the reward is for:

 

  • Additional tokens, it's taxed as ordinary income - see this TurboTax FAQ to enter
  • An increase in the value of tokens already held, it's taxed as a capital gain - see this TurboTax FAQ to enter

Burns that have now become worthless are reported as capital gain/loss with Proceeds = $0 and the basis being what you originally paid for it.   Make sure you have Proof of Burn in case of inquiry.
