Bitcoin debit card

  1. #1
    If I load a debit card with bitcoin and use the coinbase shift card to check out (for something sold for usd), do I have to report taxes in April?

    I guess I should have invested in this bitcoin situation back in 2010 when I started playing the money market,, dropped 10 g's never to be seen again

    I don't know about Coinbase's option as I never really trusted them and this is the first I've heard of this Shift card thing.

    As for purchases with BTC and a plastic card the only option I have found and have been using for about 6 months pretty happily is through a company called BitPay. www.bitpay.com
    The physical card costs ten dollars to order but after that there aren't any other fees I'm aware of. You get wallet that you can put any amount of BTC into and then you can simply swipe your card for a purchase and the BTC in your wallet is used.

    Quick edit as I realized you asked about paying taxes from it lol.
    I imagine as any other kind it hinges on if you are funding it with income with a trail then of course it needs to be accounted for.
    Crypto gained anonymously from the beginning though would be untaxable I believe.
