  Calculating capital gains tax on your cryptocurrency earnings in Missouri is an important step to ensure compliance with tax laws. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Gather all your transaction records, including the date, price, and type of cryptocurrency bought or sold. 2. Determine your cost basis, which is the original value of the cryptocurrency when you acquired it. 3. Subtract your cost basis from the sale price to calculate the capital gain. 4. If you held the cryptocurrency for less than a year, it will be considered a short-term capital gain and taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you held it for more than a year, it will be considered a long-term capital gain and taxed at a lower rate. 5. Report your capital gains on your federal tax return using Form 8949 and Schedule D. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation.
