Crypto tax reconciliation is essential for anyone trading or holding crypto assets. As cryptocurrency adoption grows, so does the complexity of accurately reporting transactions for tax purposes. Whether you’re an investor, trader, or crypto-based business, crypto tax reconciliation is essential to remain compliant with IRS cryptocurrency tax rules and avoid potential audits or penalties.
At TrueScope Consulting, we specialize in cryptocurrency tax reconciliation and blockchain forensic accounting to help clients file accurate returns and reduce their tax risk.
Why Is Crypto Tax Reconciliation Important?
The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property, not currency. That means every time you trade, sell, or convert crypto, you may trigger a taxable event. If these transactions are not properly reconciled, you risk:
- Underreporting gains or income
- IRS audits and back taxes
- Penalties and interest for inaccurate filings
What Does Crypto Tax Reconciliation Involve?
We help you reconcile digital asset activity across all platforms by:
- Gathering data from centralized and decentralized exchanges
- Tracking activity from wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger)
- Matching transfers, staking rewards, and NFT transactions
- Calculating capital gains and losses using FIFO, LIFO, or Specific ID methods
- Ensuring all taxable income (staking, mining, airdrops) is properly categorized
IRS Forms We Help You Prepare
As part of our crypto tax reporting services, we support accurate completion of:
- Form 8949: Reporting gains and losses from crypto sales
- Schedule D: Total capital gains and losses
- Schedule 1 or C: Income from mining, staking, or self-employment
Challenges of Crypto Tax Reconciliation
Reconciliation is often difficult due to:
- Multiple wallets and exchange accounts
- Hard-to-trace DeFi transactions and privacy coins
- Unclear cost basis for legacy crypto assets
- Complicated events like forks, airdrops, or liquidity pooling
We simplify this process by using industry tools and hands-on forensic accounting to ensure every transaction is documented and reconciled.
