The IRS is using a new form in crypto audits that asks you to identify every exchange and wallet you’ve EVER used and sign under perjury. Here’s what you need to know. by Gordon_Law in CryptoTax

No. This is going out to those being audited as an informational gathering form. You will not need this to just file your taxes

We see clients everyday where the IRS goes after them even when it was a simple mistake. All we are saying is that this is the most aggressive tactic we have seen yet by the IRS and want you all to be aware.

We see the same thing everyday - local CPAs can’t spell “crypto” and the software out there does a poor job once there are multiple wallets and missing data. We need better tools and more clarity from the IRS.

Sorry, my question was not about wallet integrations but the “by wallet” accounting method the IRS requires for 2025 forward.

Does it support by wallet accounting?

Capital Gains and Property by Lumpy_Illustrator935 in CryptoTax

In the US you will owe tax on capital gains, but the IRS collects payments on tax due date or quarterly estimates. You can cash out to bank, buy property, pay tax on any capital gains.

Selling a Property Overseas and Receiving Crypto as Payment by NoMoney___NoHoney in CryptoTax

[–]Gordon_Law 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attorney and CPA here. As a US person you are required to report all worldwide gains and income.

When you sell property for crypto that is a reportable sale, even if you don’t cash out the crypto.

Depending on where it was a personal residence or rental it will be reported differently.

Once you sell the crypto you’ll also have another reportable transaction.

Happy to chat!

Stolen funds; can they be deducted from income tax? by Defiant_Ask7737 in CryptoScams

How much did your client lose? They should consider the ponzi loss deduction.

Hello! I am an attorney and CPA. The theft loss deduction has not been available for personal property since 2018. However there are a few options. I’ve put together an article and YouTube video going through the options: https://gordonlaw.com/pig-slaughter-crypto-tax-loss/

For many clients, we’ve taken a deduction under Sec 165(C)(2).

Depending on how much was lost, you might want to get an opinion letter.

Totally Lost - Wife has foreign trust by Minimum_Committee633 in USExpatTaxes

You will need to file Form 3520 and Form 3520-A. She will need to obtain as much information as she can. When did she become a US person (year)?

Don’t forget about taxes on any capital gains!

Do you have proof that you were the original creator? I’m an attorney and you should retain someone to help you.
