Transferring crypto between own wallets: taxable event?

Direct answer: NO. Moving crypto between your own wallets/exchanges is NOT a taxable event. No sale, no purchase, no change of ownership → no tax event.

Condition: Both wallets must belong to you.

Network fees: Fee paid in crypto = small "mini-sale" of the tokens used for the fee. Capital gain if those tokens have appreciation. In practice, minimal impact for low fees.

Risk of not marking properly: Software may interpret as "sale" in wallet A + "buy" in wallet B → incorrect portfolio and calculations.

kointax: Auto-detects transfers between wallets from the same user when all wallets imported. Manual override available.
