#USCryptoStakingTaxReview Here’s a **clear, up-to-date U.S. tax overview focused on crypto staking (especially for Binance / Binance.US users) under the tag #USCryptoStakingTaxReview:
📌 1. U.S. Tax Rules for Crypto Staking
🧾 IRS Treatment
The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property for U.S. tax purposes. �
@BinanceUS
Staking rewards count as ordinary income at the fair market value (FMV) when you gain control of the tokens. This is based on IRS guidance (Revenue Ruling 2023-14). �
BDO
That income must be reported on your U.S. individual return (Form 1040). �
@BinanceUS
📍 Key point: Even if you don’t sell the reward yet, you owe tax when you receive and control it.
📌 2. How This Applies to Binance.US
🏛️ Tax Filing Requirements
Binance.US is a U.S.-regulated exchange and must comply with IRS reporting rules. �
CoinLedger
They issue Form 1099-MISC for staking rewards (and other crypto income) if you earn ≥ $600 in a year. �

📅 Updated Reporting (2025 forward)
Starting with the 2025 tax year, Binance.US (and other U.S. brokers) will also send Form 1099-DA reporting gross proceeds from crypto trades and transactions, including staking reward sales/exchanges. �
CoinTracker +1
This means the IRS will have more visibility into your cryptocurrency activity.
📌 Important:
Binance.com (global platform) does not operate in the U.S. and typically doesn’t directly report to the IRS. �
CoinLedger
However, you as a U.S. taxpayer must still report any taxable income or gains from crypto even if earned off-exchange.
📌 3. Staking Income: What You Owe
✍️ When Are Taxes Triggered?
✅ Receipt of staking rewards: taxable as ordinary income at FMV on the day received. �
❌ Just holding staked tokens isn’t taxable until you receive new rewards.
