How crypto is taxed in Tennessee

Tennessee has no state income tax (its old Hall tax on interest and dividends was repealed in 2021), so crypto gains are only taxed federally.

Worked example: on a $10,000 long-term crypto gain, a Tennessee resident in the 15% federal long-term bracket would owe roughly $1,500 federally and $0 to Tennessee — nothing extra at the state level.

However it is taxed where you live, the federal rules are the same: the IRS treats crypto as property, every sell or swap is a taxable event, gains held one year or less are short-term (ordinary income) and gains held longer are long-term (0%, 15%, or 20%). Losses offset gains and up to $3,000 of ordinary income per year.
