Services
Tax
Like any other investment or trading platform, Robinhood users are responsible for paying taxes on their investment gains and losses. The tax implications of using Robinhood depend on a number of factors, including the types of investments made, the holding period of the investments, and the individual's tax bracket.
For example, if a user sells a stock or cryptocurrency that they've held for more than a year, they may be subject to long-term capital gains taxes, which are generally lower than short-term capital gains taxes.
Payroll
On the other hand, if a user sells a stock or cryptocurrency that they've held for less than a year, they may be subject to short-term capital gains taxes, which are taxed at the individual's ordinary income tax rate.
Robinhood provides users with various tax documents and resources to help them prepare their taxes. These include 1099 tax forms that detail investment gains and losses, as well as tax guides and FAQs on their website.
