Reporting Polygon Taxes with Awaken

Polygon is one of the most popular and affordable Ethereum-compatible blockchains, widely used for DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and low-cost token transfers. With direct wallet integration in Awaken, syncing your Polygon transactions takes just seconds β€” no CSVs, no hassle.

Whether you're trading tokens, farming yield, collecting NFTs, or bridging assets from Ethereum, Awaken automatically pulls your transaction history and generates a complete, audit-ready crypto tax report.


βœ… Step-by-Step: Connecting Your Polygon Wallet to Awaken

To connect your Polygon wallet:

  1. Go to the Accounts tab on Awaken

  2. Click Add Account

  3. Type Polygon in the search bar

  4. Click Add Wallet

  5. Paste your public EVM wallet address (starts with 0x)

Awaken will instantly begin syncing your activity from the Polygon blockchain β€” including trades, transfers, NFT transactions, yield farming, and DeFi protocol rewards.

πŸ“Œ Note: Because Polygon is an EVM-compatible chain, adding your 0x wallet address will also allow Awaken to detect activity across other EVM chains that use the same address β€” including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Blast, and more.


πŸ” What Awaken Tracks on Polygon

Awaken supports a wide range of Polygon-based activity, including:

  • Token swaps on popular Polygon DEXs like Quickswap, Uniswap, and Sushiswap

  • NFT minting, purchases, and sales (via OpenSea, Magic Eden, etc.)

  • Yield farming, staking, and liquidity provisioning

  • Layer 1 to Layer 2 bridges (e.g., Ethereum β†’ Polygon transfers)

  • Wallet-to-wallet transfers

  • DAO and governance transactions

No manual tagging is needed β€” Awaken automatically classifies your transactions and applies tax rules for your region.


πŸ”— Next Step: Add Your Other Exchanges and Wallets

To ensure your tax reports are accurate and complete, connect all of your wallets, exchanges, and on-chain accounts to Awaken before you start your tax return.

Return to the Awaken Integrations Hub to find instructions for every platform you’ve used. Once every transaction is accounted for, you’re ready to do your crypto taxes with confidence.


🌍 How Polygon Activity is Taxed

Depending on your local tax laws, your Polygon transactions may result in:

  • Capital gains or losses when you sell, trade, or swap tokens

  • Income tax from staking rewards, airdrops, farming yields, or token incentives

  • Deductible expenses, such as gas fees and bridge costs (if allowed in your jurisdiction)
