  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that the IRS treats capital gains tax on cryptocurrency in NYC in a similar way to other investments. If you sell or exchange cryptocurrency and make a profit, it is subject to capital gains tax. The tax rate depends on your income level and how long you held the cryptocurrency. If you held it for less than a year, it is considered a short-term capital gain and taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you held it for more than a year, it is considered a long-term capital gain and taxed at a lower rate. It's important to keep track of your transactions and report them accurately on your tax return to avoid any potential issues with the IRS.
