How crypto is taxed in Texas

Texas has no state income tax and no state capital-gains tax, so your realized crypto gains are only taxed federally — a major draw for crypto holders.

Worked example: on a $10,000 long-term crypto gain, a Texas resident in the 15% federal long-term bracket would owe roughly $1,500 federally and $0 to Texas — 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.
