Crypto Tax FAQs
Do I owe taxes on crypto if I never cashed out to dollars? Often, yes. The IRS treats crypto as property, so crypto-to-crypto trades, spending crypto, and many DeFi swaps can be taxable. Staking, airdrops, and mining may count as ordinary income. We review your full activity.
What is Form 8949 and why does crypto need it? Form 8949 reports each capital gain or loss; totals flow to Schedule D. Every disposal needs date acquired, date sold, proceeds, and cost basis. We compile this from your exchange and wallet data.
My 1099-B doesn't match my records. What now? Common. Exchange 1099s often overstate proceeds or omit basis. We reconcile against your actual history, correct the basis, and document the difference.
I lost my transaction history. Can you still file? Usually yes. We reconstruct cost basis from exchange exports, wallets, blockchain records, and bank transfers.
How are DeFi, staking, airdrops, and NFTs taxed? Staking and airdrops are typically ordinary income at receipt, then capital gain or loss when sold. DeFi swaps often trigger taxable events. NFTs are capital transactions. We map each to the correct treatment.
Do I have to report crypto on foreign exchanges? Possibly — FBAR (FinCEN 114) or FATCA may apply based on balances. We review and handle the required filings.
How much does crypto tax prep cost? Flat fees: $350–$1,200 straightforward, $1,200–$3,500 active/DeFi, $3,500–$8,000 complex. We quote after a free review.
Is my financial data secure? Yes — encrypted client portal and secure file transfer, never email attachments, with limited data retention.
