Artists around the world are turning to NFTs and blockchain technology to make a living selling their art, with that, many NFT artists are curious to know how to report their sales on their taxes. Thankfully, we had the chance to sit down with Alex, who’s an NFT CPA to discuss this exact topic. As an NFT artist, all NFTs that you create and then sell are taxed as ordinary income. Just like creating and selling a piece of art in the real world, NFT art isn’t taxed much differently. Additionally, NFT artists are eligible to receive various tax deductions for their supplies, events, and even certain gas fees. To learn more about how NFTs are taxed and what’s considered deductible, check out the full article linked below! Twitter @TheNFTCPA @137pm

In response to Russia’s invasion, the Ukraine region saw unprecedented levels of economic sanctions, choking up the financial institutions. As a result, the question of how the public could provide financial aid to those in desperate need was left open. #NFT community builder, @andrwwang woke up to the atrocities unfolding in Ukraine. Terrified and shocked, soon turning into conviction and resolve, Wang was determined to take action in the best way he knew how — by bringing people together. Ultimately, Wang joined together with other NFT leaders and 37 NFT artists to create RELI3F — a Web3 initiative providing global humanitarian aid and ended up raising over $1 million for Ukraine in 30 seconds, via NFT sales.
