1. Report Crypto Losses
Reporting any capital losses on your tax return can help reduce your tax liability for the current year and even in future years. Even if you didn’t make a profit, report your crypto activity! Learn more about tax loss harvesting with cryptocurrency in the video below.
2. File Your Taxes On Time
If you can’t pay your crypto taxes in full, it’s still important to file your tax return on time or request an extension by the deadline. Failure to do so can result in high IRS tax penalties.
You can also submit a partial payment by the deadline and pay the rest later. There’s still a penalty for any unpaid balance, but it’s significantly lower than the failure to file penalty.
3. IRS Payment Plans
If you can’t pay your taxes in full, the IRS offers payment plans to help you pay your tax debt over time. You may be able to get up to 6 years to pay it off! Ask our experienced crypto tax attorneys about your options.
4. Don’t Trust Crypto 1099s
If you trade cryptocurrency, don’t assume that your tax forms from exchanges will be accurate. Whether your exchange sends a 1099-MISC, 1099-B, or 1099-K, the form you receive most likely won’t contain all the information you need to actually complete your crypto tax report. Watch our video breakdown of what these forms actually report and what they’re missing.
