Crypto capital-gains tax in Wisconsin

Wisconsin's July 2025 budget (Act 15) retroactively widened the 4.4% bracket for tax year 2025 — it now covers income up to $50,480 single / $67,300 joint before the 5.3% rate begins, with the top 7.65% rate above $323,290 / $431,060. The standard deduction shown is the maximum; it slides downward as income rises. Capital gains are taxed as ordinary income, but 30% of net long-term gains are excluded, so this estimate overstates tax on large gains.

Common questions

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