How are FTX transactions taxed?
All crypto transactions on FTX — including spot, margin, futures, and Earn — are taxable events under global tax law.
Capital gains tax: Applies when you sell, swap, or convert crypto. The taxable amount equals the difference between your purchase price (cost basis) and the sale or trade value.
Income tax: Applies when you earn crypto through staking, referrals, airdrops, bonuses, or interest-bearing products like FTX Earn. The value at the time of receipt is considered income.
CoinTracker automatically identifies these taxable events across your historical FTX activity to generate an accurate report.
Do I have to pay taxes on FTX even though it collapsed?
Yes. Even though FTX went bankrupt, all trading and earning activity prior to the collapse remains taxable. You must report:
Spot and futures trading profits or losses
Earn or staking income
USD withdrawals and crypto disposals
Airdrops, bonuses, or referral rewards
CoinTracker helps you reconstruct and report these transactions accurately for your 2021–2022 filings and beyond.
Does FTX provide tax documents?
Partially. Before the collapse, FTX issued Form 1099-MISC to some U.S. users.
Since the bankruptcy, users can access historical data through the FTX Debtors Customer Claims Portal.
Export these files and upload them to CoinTracker, which will calculate your full trading history for tax purposes.

When did FTX issue tax forms?
FTX issued Form 1099-MISC to qualifying U.S. users who earned over $600 in rewards or income in 2021 and early 2022.
After its bankruptcy in November 2022, no additional tax forms were issued.
CoinTracker automatically generates equivalent Form 8949, Schedule D, and income summaries based on your FTX data.
Why aren't my FTX documents accurate?
Your reports may appear incomplete if:
Some of your trade or Earn data was lost during the collapse.
You transferred funds between FTX.com and FTX US accounts.
Certain futures or margin trades were not included in CSV exports.
CoinTracker can reconstruct missing information using:
Blockchain deposit/withdrawal records
Historical market prices
Recovered CSV data from the claims portal
This ensures your tax report remains accurate and verifiable.
Does FTX automatically deduct taxes?
No. FTX did not withhold or remit taxes on your behalf.
Users are responsible for reporting their realized gains and income.
CoinTracker simplifies this by generating comprehensive, audit-ready reports for submission to your tax authority.
Does FTX report to tax authorities?
Yes — partially.
FTX shared some user income data with the IRS in 2021–2022 through Form 1099-MISC submissions.
After bankruptcy, ongoing investigations and data disclosures may continue through the FTX Debtors' proceedings.
CoinTracker ensures your personal tax records match your exchange-reported data to minimize discrepancies.
Does FTX provide financial or end-of-year statements?
Yes, via the claims portal.
You can access historical reports, statements, and wallet balances as part of the FTX bankruptcy data release.
