Washington tax on crypto

Washington uses a special rule: 7% tax on long-term capital gains above the annual threshold. crypto gains still follow federal character first.

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.

Open the parent Washington calculator for a generic sale, or the national Crypto lander for asset-only copy. Nearby states below keep the same crypto preset so you can compare residency. Estimates are not tax advice.

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.

This calculator models Washington long-term capital gains at 7% above $262,000. It does not apply a 9.9% tier on gain above $1 million, and it does not inflation-adjust the $262,000 figure for 2026.

Only long-term gain is run through that surtax. Short-term gain is not taxed by Washington in this model. A $50,000, $100,000, or $250,000 long-term gain sits under the $262,000 threshold, so the illustrated Washington line is $0. Gain above $262,000 is taxed at 7% on the excess only.
