A Note on Taxes

Tax obligations for gift card sellers.

Selling a gift card for less than its face value typically results in a capital loss, not a taxable gain, for most US taxpayers. The IRS generally treats gift cards as property. When you sell a gift card for less than what you paid (or received it for), the difference is a loss β€” not income.

However, tax treatment varies based on individual circumstances, how you obtained the gift card, how frequently you trade, and other factors. This is not tax advice. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified tax professional if you trade frequently or in large amounts.

GiftCards for Crypto does not issue 1099 forms for gift card purchases. We are not a payment processor and do not report individual trades to the IRS. However, if you are required to report gains or losses on your tax return, you are responsible for doing so accurately.

For authoritative guidance, see IRS.gov or consult a CPA familiar with digital assets and gift card transactions.

Compliant, secure, and ready to trade.

Trade with a company that's federally registered, 100% reserve backed, and legally obligated to pay what they quoted.
