Do I have to pay taxes if I use Electrum?
Yes, in the US Electrum gains and income are considered taxable transactions by the IRS.
Crypto is treated as property and subject to capital gains tax. Short-term gains (held <1 year) are taxed at 10%-37%, while long-term gains (held >1 year) are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%. Crypto earned through staking, mining, or payments is considered income and taxed accordingly.

Does Electrum automatically deduct taxes?
No, as of 2025, Electrum does not automatically deduct taxes for you.
Crypto exchanges only track your transactions on their own platform, not your transfers to other wallets or exchanges. This means crucial information for accurate tax calculations is missing – something only crypto tax tools like Blockpit can provide.
Warning: The IRS knows about your Electrum gains!
Electrum transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain, making them fully traceable by the IRS. The IRS uses advanced tracking methods to monitor crypto activity and enforce tax compliance. Additionally, centralized exchanges report user data to the IRS via form 1099-DA, increasing the likelihood of audits and tax notices.
Failing to report your crypto gains can result in hefty back taxes and penalties. Use a crypto tax tool like Blockpit to ensure accurate reporting and compliance.
Warning: The IRS knows about your Electrum gains!
Electrum transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain, and wallets and DeFi activity leave a clear trail. The IRS actively uses blockchain analysis to track transactions and can access additional data from centralized exchanges. Enforcement is increasing, and more crypto users are receiving tax notices and back tax demands.
Failing to report your crypto gains can lead to audits, hefty tax bills, and penalties. Stay compliant with a crypto tax tool like Blockpit.
