Have you received a warning letter from the IRS about your cryptocurrency taxes (IRS Letter 6173, IRS Letter 6174, IRS Letter 6174-A, IRS Notice CP2000)? If so, you have come to the right place. Don’t stress, we’ll have you on your way in 15 minutes. Here’s what you need to do:
To get started, you’ll want to create a free CoinTracker account.
Add ALL of your cryptocurrency exchanges and off-exchange wallets to CoinTracker.
Purchase a tax plan for each year that you had cryptocurrency capital gains (you can check on the tax page).
Download your tax reports from the tax page.
If you have not filed your cryptocurrency taxes (or your filings were incomplete) for previous years, amend your tax return(s) using the newly generated tax reports.
We recommend speaking with a tax professional about your situation. If you are already working with someone, you can share your tax reports with them. If you would like to be connected to a new accountant, you can personalize one of the same letters below, and reach out to us to get connected to a crypto CPA:
