Crypto capital-gains tax in West Virginia

West Virginia's rates dropped an additional 2% effective January 1, 2025 under a revenue-trigger law, giving 2025 brackets from 2.22% to a top 4.82% (above $60,000 of taxable income, same schedule for all statuses). The state has no standard deduction — only a $2,000-per-person exemption — so tax applies from nearly the first dollar. Further trigger-based cuts are possible in future years.

Common questions

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