How is Ethereum staking taxed?

Quick Answer

ETH staking rewards are ordinary income at fair market value the moment you gain dominion and control (per Rev. Rul. 2023-14). The FMV at receipt becomes your cost basis; selling later is a separate capital gain or loss event.

Ethereum staking taxation: ordinary income at receipt, capital gain at sale.
