New Jersey imposes the third-highest state income tax rate in the U.S. at 10.75% on income over $1M and is one of the few states to publish specific cryptocurrency tax guidance (TB-98(R)). Residents from Jersey City to Hoboken to Princeton face a punishing combined rate on crypto gains. We help New Jersey crypto investors reconcile their portfolios, maximize tax-loss harvesting, and file accurate federal Form 8949 returns. Garrett Taylor, CPA #133092, prepares federal returns for clients in all 50 states.
New Jersey has the third-highest state income tax rate in the U.S. at 10.75% on income over $1 million. The state has also published specific guidance confirming cryptocurrency is taxable as intangible property. For crypto investors in the NYC suburbs and across the state, the combined federal + NJ rate on crypto gains is among the highest in the country.
With a population of 9.5 million, New Jersey is home to a significant and growing community of cryptocurrency investors , from Newark to Cherry Hill. Whether you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi positions, or NFTs, every transaction creates a federal tax event that must be reported on IRS Form 8949 and Schedule D.

Garrett Taylor, CPA #133092, is a California-licensed CPA authorized to prepare federal crypto tax returns for clients in all 50 states. Because federal tax law is uniform, your federal return preparation is the same quality whether you're in Newark or anywhere else.
New Jersey conforms to federal tax treatment on a rolling basis, meaning IRS rules on cost basis, capital gains classification, and crypto reporting requirements apply directly at the state level. The top state rate of 10.75% applies to crypto gains, stacked on top of federal capital gains tax. Proper reconciliation of your on-chain activity and accurate cost-basis tracking are essential to minimize the combined burden.
Exchanges lose data, wallets get abandoned, and chain history gets fragmented. Reconstructing accurate cost basis across years of trading is the #1 challenge we solve.
Liquidity pool entries, yield farming, cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, and restaking events each create taxable moments that most software misses or misclassifies.
Many crypto investors discover years of unreported trades after receiving an IRS letter. We help with back-year reconstruction, voluntary disclosure, and getting compliant without panic.
