What are cryptocurrency tax services and why do they matter?

Cryptocurrency tax services present assistance in classifying, calculating and reporting every taxable crypto event — so your return is fully designed to satisfy the IRS expectations. Instead of guessing — you get structured support for trade activities, swaps, DeFi activity, NFTs and mining as well as other digital asset movements.

For U.S. taxpayers, many crypto actions can create capital gains or ordinary income or self-employment income. A missed entry can simply trigger IRS notices or extra interest as well as stressful audits. Watter CPA steps in to connect wallet activity and exchange exports with tax forms — so your filing is 360 degree complete.

Who should consider professional help with crypto taxes?

Expert help with crypto taxes should be considered if your activity goes beyond a simple crypto buy and hold. The typical scenarios can be listed as below:

  • Active spot or margin trading across several exchanges
  • DeFi lending, borrowing activities, liquidity pools or yield farming
  • NFT creation or sales as well as marketplace royalties
  • Mining or staking activities, or validator rewards
  • Airdrops, referral bonuses or play-to-earn income
  • Coins stuck on failed or frozen platforms

Each of the abovementioned situations can have its own rules in line with crypto taxation, and Watter CPA presents aid in applying such rules to your distinct fact pattern.

How does Watter CPA organize and reconcile your crypto activity?

Watter CPA starts by turning raw transaction data — into a clean history. We can outline our typical approach as below:

  • Collecting exports from all exchanges and wallets along with DeFi platforms
  • Standardizing formats and removing duplicate or missing entries
  • Assigning cost basis and fair market value — by date and time
  • Matching disposals to acquisitions — for gain or loss calculations
  • Preparing support schedules that tie directly to the federal return

What cryptocurrency tax filing services does Watter CPA provide?

Watter CPA presents cryptocurrency tax filing services that cover the 360 degree, full lifecycle of your digital asset activity:

Amended returns for missed crypto activity

Clean up prior years — by adding unreported trades and income or losses.

Detailed Form 8949 and Schedule D reporting

Show each sale or disposition with a clear basis and proceeds alongside the gain or loss.

Multi-exchange and multi-wallet reconciliation

Combine activity from U.S. and offshore platforms into a single tax-ready file.

Treatment of DeFi and staking as well as mining rewards

Classify rewards as income — then track later sales for capital gain or loss.

Support for inaccessible or failed exchanges

Use available data to estimate basis and potential loss treatment — when records are incomplete.

Professional guidance on crypto fraud activities and theft losses

Evaluate whether events qualify for loss treatment in parallel to the current IRS rules.

Every engagement is structured so cryptocurrency tax preparation fits your broader financial goals, not just this year’s filing.

How can we help you satisfy the crypto rules?

We are aware that IRS guidance on digital assets keeps evolving — and state-level approaches can naturally differ. Watter CPA monitors new notices, and court decisions along with agency updates that affect reporting positions with holding periods and character of income.

For better understanding, we present a quick snapshot below:

Crypto activity type Common tax outcome*
Trading coins/tokens Capital gain or capital loss
Staking rewards Ordinary income when received
Mining proceeds Business or hobby income
NFT sales Capital gain, sometimes ordinary
DeFi interest/fees Income on receipt

*Actual treatment depends on the distinct situation and current IRS guidance.

This context helps our clients plan holding periods and withdrawal timing alongside transaction structure before year-end — not after.

FAQs

What are crypto taxes?

    Crypto taxes are simply the income and capital gains taxes that are owed once you trade, sell, swap, spend, or earn digital assets. The IRS treats most coins and tokens as property — so each taxable move can trigger a result — under crypto taxation rules.

    Who needs cryptocurrency tax services?

    Cryptocurrency tax services may be necessary if you trade often, use DeFi, earn staking or mining rewards, flip NFTs, or move coins — between several wallets and exchanges. Once activity grows beyond simple buying and holding — expertise reduces reporting mistakes.

    What happens if I don’t report my crypto activity?

    If you skip reporting, the IRS can charge extra tax payments, interest fees and penalty payments once it matches your data to Form 1099 or exchange records. Correcting past returns and using cryptocurrency tax filing services going forward usually puts you in a safer position.

    Can I write off my crypto losses?

    Yes, you can generally use realized trading losses to offset gains — and in some cases reduce other taxable income. Cryptocurrency tax preparation makes sure those losses are documented and presented correctly on the return.

    Can I do my own crypto taxes?

    You can handle simple crypto taxes yourself if you only finalized a few basic trades and have clean data. Once you add DeFi, NFTs, multiple wallets, or older missing data — a specialist in crypto taxation naturally can save a lot of time and stress.

    I’ve been working with Ken and his team for the last twenty five years and they always do such a nice job on our return preparation. The whole office is super committed and helpful. In dealing with the staff I’ve always seen such a high level of commitment from each of their personnel. We’ve used them for dozens of client returns and for complex non filers to catch them up on old returns as well.
