If the world of cryptocurrency is a platter of juicy, tender, piping hot chicken wings… then taxes are the sad-looking celery sticks sitting off to the side. Nobody wants them there, but they’re part of the package.
Maybe you saw this mouthwatering mountain of meat and dove right in. You sampled some altcoins, tried a few NFTs, and took a big bite of DeFi. Finally, you came up for air, face slathered in sauce, and only then did you glance over and happen to notice the celery had been sitting there all along. In fact, now it’s covering half the plate.
Oh, and if you don’t eat all your celery, you might go to jail.
Welcome to the NFT Tax Guide! Fair warning, we’re going to cover a lot of information. So grab a beverage, put your feet up, and get ready to learn everything you always (or never?) wanted to know about crypto taxes.
The NFT Tax Guide is only tax guidance—not tax or financial advice. Please consult your tax advisor when it comes to your tax returns and transaction history.

Jacob Martin and the NFT Tax Guide
My name is Jacob Martin and I’m more widely known as @thenftattorney. Early on in 2021, I recognized that the 2021 tax season would probably disrupt the NFT market as a whole. Additionally, after helping a client in July and August solve an incredibly complex tax situation, I realized there needed to be something for everyone.
So I decided to team up with some incredible tax attorneys and CPAs to help bring the NFT community a comprehensive guide on taxes and access to tax software.
For the NFT Tax Guide, I partnered with ZenLedger tax software, Charles Kolstad, Esq, Andrew Gordan, Esq. and Alex Roytenberg, CPA. Last, but certainly not least, each token features art by the renowned @sartoshi_nft!
“So, what’s in the guide”
NFTs
We’ll start with NFTs For Consumers, go over Play-To-Earn Gaming, and finish with NFT For Creators. Some topics include trading NFT for NFT, burning tokens, pooling funds with frens, collaborating with artists, and much more.
DeFi
From borrowing to lending, liquidity pools, and yield farms, we’ll discuss governance tokens, liquidations, gas fees, and sweet sweet rewards.
DAOs
We can hardly have a DeFi tax guide without including the other pillar of decentralization: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), which have been rising in popularity throughout 2021. In this chapter, we’ll discuss DAO tokens, airdrops, K-1’s, and starting a DAO.
Filing Tips
Whether we’re talking about ordinary income, capital gains, or non-taxable transactions, we’ll provide you with some compliance tips for how to not end up in Jail. We’ll also tell you about tax havens abroad.
