    Florida does not levy a state individual income tax.

    There is no personal Florida income tax, so there would be no tax implications for cryptocurrency transactions i Florida. 

     

    People often refer to cryptocurrency as virtual currency, but the IRS does not consider it to be a true currency.  As the IRS considers cryptocurrency to be property, capital gains and losses on for cryptocurrency sales are reported on a Schedule D.  Further, cryptocurrency mining is considered ordinary income by the IRS.
