Are there any fees associated with donating cryptocurrency?
BlockchainBlessings does not charge any fees for receiving donations. However, depending on the cryptocurrency network you use, there may be small transaction or "gas" fees associated with processing your donation, which are set by the blockchain network and not by us.
How are transaction fees handled when I donate?
Transaction fees are automatically deducted by the blockchain network when you send your donation. These fees vary depending on the network's current demand. The amount that reaches BlockchainBlessings will be the net amount after these fees are applied.
Does BlockchainBlessings charge administrative fees?
BlockchainBlessings does not take a percentage of your donation for administrative purposes. 100% of your donation we receive goes towards supporting the cause you choose. Any administrative costs for running the organization are covered by separate funding. If you would like to donate to the website please reach out to our team.
How do I claim a tax deduction for my cryptocurrency donation?
To claim a tax deduction, you’ll need to report the fair market value of your cryptocurrency donation at the time of the donation. BlockchainBlessings will provide you with a receipt, but we advise working with a tax professional to ensure accurate reporting based on your specific situation.
What are the tax benefits of donating cryptocurrency compared to cash?
Donating cryptocurrency can offer significant tax benefits. In the U.S., when you donate cryptocurrency that you’ve held for over a year, you may avoid paying capital gains taxes and can deduct the fair market value of the asset on your taxes, similar to donating appreciated stock. This can potentially reduce your tax burden while maximizing your charitable impact.
Do I need to pay taxes on cryptocurrency donations?
As a donor, you do not need to pay taxes on cryptocurrency donations. In fact, donating cryptocurrency can help you avoid capital gains taxes that would apply if you sold the cryptocurrency before donating. However, you should consult a tax advisor to ensure compliance with tax laws in your jurisdiction.
Will I receive a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes, BlockchainBlessings provides a tax receipt for all donations, which includes the date of the donation and the amount (or fair market value) of the cryptocurrency donated. You can use this receipt when filing your taxes to claim any eligible deductions.
What information do I need to provide to receive a tax receipt?
If you would like a tax receipt, you’ll need to provide your contact information when making the donation. If you choose to donate anonymously, we won’t be able to issue a tax receipt, as we won’t have your personal information to include in the receipt.
Are there any limits to how much cryptocurrency I can donate for tax benefits?
In the U.S., the IRS allows you to deduct donations up to 30% of your adjusted gross income for cryptocurrency and other non-cash donations. However, any excess donations can typically be carried forward to future years for up to five years. We recommend discussing with a tax professional for specific guidance based on your financial situation.
