Unlike stocks which mainly trigger taxes at sale, crypto can create tax liabilities through:
This means most crypto investors deal with dozens of taxable events each year. Meticulous record-keeping is essential to track:
Thorough documentation provides the raw data to calculate capital gains, capital losses, income, and more. Without it, you risk incorrect tax filings along with penalties and interest.
Cryptocurrency taxes present major challenges including:
No 1099 Tax Forms
Financial institutions send 1099s for stocks, interest, dividends summarizing data for filing taxes.
Crypto exchanges and platforms do not issue 1099s. The taxpayer must independently compile and document every single transaction.
Confusing Cost Basis Calculations
Cost basis is the original value of an asset for tax purposes. Correctly calculating it is crucial for reporting capital gains and losses.
But with crypto, determining cost basis across exchanges, DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and blockchains is extremely confusing.
Hassle of Amending Incorrect Past Filings
Many investors realize they incorrectly filed crypto taxes in previous years with incomplete data. Amending past returns to correct it is a big hassle.
High Risk of IRS Audit and Penalties
Lack of 1099s means crypto taxes rely completely on self-reporting. This greatly increases the chance of an IRS audit, which means providing comprehensive documentation.
Complex Tax Rules Across Countries
For global crypto investors, each country has different tax rules and forms. Ensuring compliance in multiple jurisdictions is difficult.
This combination of pain points means most crypto investors desperately need help to properly file taxes.
