If you traded, bridged, used DeFi, or touched NFTs, the hard part usually isn't "filing" — it's getting clean transaction history so your gains, losses, and income are accurate.
If there's a current discount or special consult option, you'll see it after clicking through.
Three pages to help you understand your options, compare tools, and get your report cleaned up.
Who it's for, what they do, and what to expect from a specialist crypto tax service. Legit? Fees? Worth it?
DIY tools vs specialist help — especially important if you have DeFi, NFTs, or many wallets.
Step-by-step: records, taxable events, cost basis, DeFi/NFT handling, and final reports.
These guides cover taxable events, cost basis, DeFi/NFT complexity, and futures reporting. If your report already looks "off," skip straight to cleanup.

Rules vary by country and situation — but these are the most common sources of crypto tax reporting requirements.
A simple wallet-to-wallet transfer is often not a taxable event by itself — but it can appear taxable if transfers aren't matched correctly or if wallets are missing from your history.
The goal: accurate cost basis + matched transfers + categorized activity = reports your CPA can actually use.
Most "bad" crypto tax reports aren't because you did something illegal — they're because the data is incomplete or mislabeled.
If the system can't see your buy price, it may assume $0 cost basis — worst case — and drastically overstate your gains. Fix it before you file.
Missing wallets or mislabeled transfers create fake taxable events. A move between your own wallets should never count as a sale.
Bridges, LP tokens, staking rewards, and NFT activity can get categorized incorrectly unless the history is cleaned up by someone who knows what they're looking at.
Three things to do before you file — skipping any one of these is the most common source of crypto tax errors.
List every exchange and wallet you used. Missing even one can cause "unknown cost basis" errors and inflate your gains significantly.
Transfers should match from wallet A to wallet B. If they don't reconcile, software may treat an internal move as a taxable sell.
Bridges, LPs, staking, airdrops, and mints often need manual cleanup so your report reflects what actually happened on-chain.
The honest comparison most tax software companies won't show you.
If you're already stressed about your crypto taxes, skip the rabbit holes. Get the history cleaned up first, then file with confidence.
In most cases, yes — taxable gains, losses, and income are derived from your full transaction history. The key is having complete, properly labeled records before you file.
It usually means the tool can't determine what you originally paid for an asset — which can cause it to inflate your gains significantly (sometimes assuming a $0 cost basis). Don't file until every "unknown" is reconciled.
Often, yes — swapping one cryptocurrency for another can count as disposing of one asset and acquiring another, triggering a taxable event. Rules vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Consult a tax professional.
No legitimate service will ever ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Never share them with anyone, under any circumstances.
Multi-chain DeFi (bridges, LPs, cross-chain swaps) is one of the most complex areas to reconcile. This is where specialist help typically pays for itself — see DeFi Crypto Taxes guide or go straight to Count On Sheep.
