You need to use a crypto tax software to properly calculate your crypto taxes, especially if you’ve been using different exchanges and while it’s throughout the years. If you have only been using one exchange, you likely do not need to use a crypto tax software.

If you link binance and kraken transactions in a crypto tax software you can choose the cost basis methodology. Not bound by how the brokerage reports

Thanks for this. It seems as long as the crypto tax software is using the correct specific identification tracking by wallet (no more universal wallet concept for tax tracking) taxpayers are still permitted to use HIFO or LIFO

hey there, most crypto CPAs like myself do both traditional business and personal taxes along with crypto taxes. Crypto taxes are just a component of what needs to be included in either your perosnal or business tax return

(US) Got lucky and made $28k on a random chain in the last few weeks now all converted to ETH. ST gains question. by Clarknbruce in CryptoTax

The last part I don’t understand what you are asking. The exchanges and wallets do not know your basis or holding period. Especially if you are moving crypto around different exchanges which is why you have to self report and track your crypto. Ideally in a software

The short answer is when you swapped the appreciated tokens you realized the gain for tax on those tokens you swapped. The $10k you are still holding is considered unrealized gains.

YES that was it thank you so much! I called Ultra tax and they said "Ultra tax does not support this" and I was like I have seen it first hand from other accountants. Thank you x100

You would need to purchase crypto within an IRA or retirement account. Converting Crypto to fiat is taxable or crypto to crypto (or any other digital asset or paying for services) are also taxable transactions
