This is why I’ve insisted everyone speak to their local tax professional.
I can say for certain that in my case, each receipt (staking rewards, Creator Coin donation received, $RLY Community Activity Rewards, etc.) is income. You can also note this is the case by default with any of the crypto-tax help software such as Koinly.
This has also been the case for most of the individuals I’ve discussed with in the past few years who have gone to their local tax professionals as well.
I imagine for many of the Creators on the platform this will be the case as well, and probably a significant number of users.
And even for those that won’t be required to mark receipt of $RLY or CC as income, it will be a $0-cost basis event that likely immediately gets converted to or from $RLY or a CC, and thus immediately a taxable event. (e.g. weekly rewards getting cycled into CC or bridged-out to mainnet $RLY; which may function as a ‘swap’)
In the absolute best case, a user will luck out and report them in a way that works out for them.
In the worst case, someone will look at this thread or others and make the wrong choice for themselves.
All users should consult with their local tax professional.
