Why You Need a Crypto Tax Professional
IRS Rules Are Changing. Let’s File Your Crypto Taxes Right.
Crypto tax laws shift rapidly as IRS scrutiny increases. Our crypto tax professionals help you stay compliant and file accurately, so you’re protected during tax season.
Cryptocurrency isn’t a niche asset anymore and the IRS is paying attention. You need more than DIY accounting software to file your crypto taxes correctly as tax regulations continue to change.
At Onchain Accounting, we have helped over 175 blockchain businesses and crypto traders with crypto tax compliance for over 8 years. Working with an expert crypto tax professional is important for the following reasons:
Crypto transactions are hard to track.
Your crypto transactions can be classified as swaps, staking rewards, bridge transfers, wrapped tokens, rebasing, and more. Even a few transactions can lead to hundreds of taxable events. An experienced crypto tax professional helps you by:
- Reconstructing your transaction history across wallets and exchanges
- Identifying taxable and non-taxable events
- Calculating cost basis correctly
- Avoiding costly errors by classifying transactions accurately
You could be missing out on tax-saving opportunities.
There are legitimate ways to reduce your crypto tax liability. A long-term tax strategy is needed where every aspect is considered, including entity structure and quarterly payments to grow your business in a tax-efficient manner. You can look into applying white hat strategies with one of our crypto tax accountants who have expertise in evaluating what’s best for your crypto investment:
- Using capital loss harvesting strategies
- Identifying long-term vs. short-term gains
- Optimizing the treatment of staking/yield rewards
- Structuring crypto business income for more favorable taxation
New IRS regulations are emerging.
Digital assets like cryptocurrency are treated as property. Your crypto tax reporting obligations change with new rules coming up under the Infrastructure Bill and updated cost basis requirements. Our crypto tax professionals are already on it to keep your filings compliant and audit-ready while making sure that your financial growth is minimally affected. Since crypto is one of the IRS’s top enforcement priorities, inaccurate filings can lead to:
- Penalties for underreporting
- Interest on unpaid taxes
- Criminal charges (in some cases)
Software alone isn’t enough.
While tools like Koinly and CoinTracker are helpful, they aren’t a substitute for expert review. Errors with your tax filing process such as wallet mismatches, missing cost basis, incorrect token classification, or improper treatment of DeFi/NFT transactions can go unnoticed on some occasions. A crypto tax professional has the knowledge to audit these tools’ output before filing your taxes.

What Your Crypto Tax Professional Needs to File Your Taxes
When working with one of our crypto tax professionals, we make sure that your time is saved by keeping everything organized. Here’s what we’ll need to ensure your tax filing is complete and audit-ready:
Crypto tax filing requirements
Description
Your full crypto transaction history
Make sure to gather your complete crypto activity. Our tax professionals can help you with this process. We’ll need:
- CSV exports or API integrations from all exchanges (e.g., Coinbase, Binance, Kraken)
- Wallet addresses for on-chain activity
- DeFi platforms you have used for staking, lending, yield farming
- NFT marketplaces
- Any cross-chain transactions
This transaction history is important to identify all your taxable events.
Dates and cost basis for all acquisitions
Calculating gains and losses accurately is a critical task that requires the following details of each crypto acquisition:
- Initial purchase date and price
- Any transaction fees paid
- Historical pricing data for tokens
Where data is missing, our crypto tax experts can reconstruct it by using blockchain explorers and pricing tools.
Details of Crypto Income
Any crypto you earned must be reported as income at fair market value. Our crypto tax accountants need the following data to report crypto income:
- Amount and type of income
- Date received
- Source
NFT Activity
NFT-related tax treatment depends on how and when you bought, sold, or created the assets. We’ll be using the following data for NFT activity:
- Minting costs
- Dates of purchase and sale
- Royalties earned
- Marketplace used
1099 Forms and Exchange Reports
These need to be included in your tax documents where available.
Previous Year’s Tax Returns
If this is your first year working with us, our crypto tax professionals will want to review your previous crypto filings. We’ll correct any errors and carry forward unused losses.
Business information
This is applicable for crypto businesses. If you are operating a DAO, DeFi protocol, NFT project, or Web3 business, we’ll need:
- Entity structure (LLC, C-Corp, DAO, etc.)
- Crypto and fiat bank statements
- Invoices, payroll, and expense documentation
- Wallets and smart contracts used in business operations
Crypto Tax Forms You Can’t Miss to Be Audit Ready
A trusted crypto tax professional ensures that all your crypto tax forms are filed before deadlines while you focus on expanding your crypto portfolio. Here’s a breakdown of the main tax forms associated with crypto activities:
Form 8949
This form lists every taxable crypto event with details like date acquired, sold, proceeds, and cost basis. It’s used to report capital gains and losses from the sale or disposition of crypto assets.
Schedule D
What if you didn’t make any money from crypto this year? Your losses can help since the IRS allows a deduction of up to $3,000 in capital losses each year from other income, like your salary or freelance earnings. If your losses are over $3,000, you can carry them forward and use them in future years.
Schedule 1
If you have earned crypto from airdrops, hard forks, referral rewards, bonuses, and other crypto income, these need to be reported here for compliance.
Schedule B
Any interest earned from DeFi platforms, staking, or crypto savings accounts goes here. Our crypto tax accountants identify any income that falls under this category to report as interest.
Schedule C
If you mined crypto, you’ll owe taxes on your earnings depending on the fair market value of the mined coins at the time they were received. Crypto mining can be reported as business income or self-employment income for crypto tax reporting on Schedule C.
Form 1099-MISC
Some exchanges and platforms will send this form when you earn more than $600 in rewards. If the IRS gets it, your return should match. Our crypto tax professional cross-checks income documents you receive to avoid any mistakes.
Form 1040
Using spreadsheets or generic tools may miss trade history, result in double-counting, or create discrepancies with exchange records.
Form 8938 and FBAR (FinCEN 114)
If you use foreign exchanges or wallets, you might have to disclose holdings under FBAR (Foreign Bank and Financial Account Reporting) and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act). Holding more than $10,000 in foreign financial accounts requires FBAR filing.
Form 8949

What You Need to Know About Reporting Crypto Losses on Your Taxes
Even if you didn’t profit this year, unreported losses can cost your future tax benefits and raise concerns with the IRS. Let’s turn your crypto losses into a smart tax strategy.
Costs of Hiring a Crypto Tax Professional
The cost of hiring a crypto tax professional can range from $500 to $5,000+, depending on the complexity of your crypto activity. Pricing depends on:
- Number of transactions: High-volume traders, DeFi users, and NFT investors usually require more time for reconciliation.
- Types of activity: Staking, mining, airdrops, and cross-chain transactions add complexity.
- Need for cleanup: If your records are disorganized or incomplete, additional work is required.
- Business vs. individual: Crypto businesses usually need monthly reporting and tax structuring, which increases cost.
At OnChain Accounting, we offer transparent and tiered pricing based on your transaction volume and tax needs. With digital assets, our clients save more in avoided penalties, missed deductions, and IRS audit protection than what they pay for our services.
