Ohio tax on crypto
Ohio generally taxes crypto gains under its graduated income-tax framework (Graduated income tax (top rate up to 3.5%)). This estimate applies the top modeled Ohio rate to remaining taxable gain.
Federal rules for crypto: The IRS treats crypto as property. Sales, swaps, and spending can each be taxable. Form 1099-DA reporting is expanding; wash-sale rules currently apply more clearly to securities than to crypto. Holding period still matters for LTCG vs STCG except where a longer QSBS or real-estate test applies.

Crypto is taxed as property. A transfer between wallets you own is not a sale in this model, and the wash-sale rule is not applied to crypto here.
Ohio’s model uses graduated income tax with a top rate up to 3.5% on taxable capital gain. That is the state rate in the illustration tables.
Ohio’s commercial activity tax and municipal income taxes are not capital-gains layers in this calculator. They are omitted even when the 3.5% state line is shown.
