Crypto capital-gains tax in Massachusetts

Massachusetts taxes most income at a flat 5%, but the voter-approved 4% 'Fair Share' surtax applies to taxable income above $1,083,150 for 2025 (inflation-indexed, same threshold for all filing statuses) — an effective 9% top rate. Note that Massachusetts taxes short-term capital gains at a higher 8.5% rate, which this ordinary-rate estimate does not capture.

Common questions

How is crypto taxed in Massachusetts?
At the federal level, crypto is property and gains are taxed as short- or long-term capital gains. At the state level, Massachusetts taxes crypto capital gains as ordinary income — the same rate as your wages, with no long-term discount.
Does Massachusetts have a lower rate for long-term crypto gains?
No — unlike the federal system, Massachusetts does not give long-term gains a preferential state rate; they're taxed the same as short-term gains.
