Questions

Common questions.

Is bridging ETH to L2 a taxable event?

Position-dependent. We treat a 1:1 economically-equivalent bridge as non-taxable; a bridge that results in a different asset or chain-specific wrapper is a disposition. Documented with authority in workpapers.

How do you handle mining income?

Ordinary on receipt at FMV, basis set at that value. Whether it rises to a trade or business (Schedule C, SE tax, equipment depreciation) is a facts-and-circumstances call we evaluate annually.
