# Tax on Tokenswaps and Mainnetswaps {% hint style="warning" %} There has been no official guidance on Tokenswaps or Mainnetswaps from the IRS and as such we recommend that you speak with your tax attorney or accountant about the best way to file your return. {% endhint %} These swaps are where a cryptocurrency moves to a different technology. Providing all tokens on the original blockchain are destroyed and the holder receives the same value of tokens on the new blockchain, there is an argument that a taxable event does not occur. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
