Following the BlockFi bankruptcy, this guide serves as a vital tool for individuals who have engaged in crypto trading on BlockFi. It aims to clarify if and how taxes should be paid on historical transactions conducted through BlockFi.
Do I need to pay crypto taxes after BlockFi closed down?
Yes, despite the shutdown of BlockFi, you are still obligated to report and pay taxes on your cryptocurrency transactions. On BlockFi, you may have engaged in deposits, withdrawals, and trades involving various cryptocurrencies. These transactions often have tax implications, depending on the country where you are liable for taxes.
Given that BlockFi does not offer tax reports for its customers, it falls upon you to compile and calculate your BlockFi taxes. This task can be undertaken using tools like Excel, consulting a tax lawyer, or utilizing a crypto tax calculator like Divly.
How to export your BlockFi transaction history
After closure, BlockFi allows you to export your transaction history by downloading a CSV file that contains all the information you need to calculate your crypto taxes.
Transaction type | File Import |
