Is gold taxable? The short answer is Yes. Both gold and silver (and all precious metals) are considered collectible assets and are taxed on short and longterm capital gains. This video covers capital gains implications on precious metals in the United States. In normal circumstances, you are required to report sales on your own.

✅This video focuses on federal capital gains tax, not state or municipal sales tax.

I also want to be clear that I don't have any gold. Mine was all lost in an unfortunate boating accident.
