However, any transactions you conduct on OpenSea, such as buying, selling, or trading NFTs, may be subject to taxes in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to track your transactions, calculate any taxes due, and report them on your tax return. OpenSea may provide transaction history or records to help with this process, but the responsibility for tax compliance remains with the user.\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1cb806b0\" data-id=\"1cb806b0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tax rules surrounding NFTs can be complex and confusing, especially for those new to the space.
