Cryptocurrency Tax Enforcement Is Accelerating — and Getting More Sophisticated

The IRS has made cryptocurrency enforcement a top priority.

If you have unreported crypto gains, DeFi income, or NFT transactions, the time to address compliance is now.

  • Resolve IRS letters and notices related to cryptocurrency transactions
  • Calculate cost basis and gains across multiple exchanges and wallets
  • Address DeFi, staking, mining, and NFT tax reporting obligations

Common Questions

Cryptocurrency Tax FAQs

Does the IRS know about my crypto transactions?

Almost certainly. The IRS has obtained records from Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, and other exchanges through both voluntary reporting (Form 1099) and legal summonses. They also use blockchain analytics firms to trace on-chain transactions across wallets.

What if I haven't reported crypto gains from prior years?

You can file amended returns to report previously unreported gains. Depending on the amounts and circumstances, this may qualify for the Streamlined Procedures or may require a more formal disclosure approach. The key is coming into compliance before the IRS initiates an examination.

How is DeFi income taxed?

DeFi transactions — including swaps, liquidity provision, yield farming, and staking rewards — are generally taxable events. The challenge is that many DeFi platforms don't issue tax forms, making accurate reporting difficult without specialized software and expert guidance.

I received an IRS letter about crypto. What should I do?

Do not ignore it. IRS crypto letters range from educational (Letter 6173) to compliance enforcement (Letter 6174-A). Some request specific information about your crypto holdings. Responding incorrectly or incompletely can trigger a full audit. We can evaluate the letter and prepare an appropriate response.
