Crypto & Digital Assets

Crypto Tax Planning

Crypto tax planning requires clean records, wallet and exchange mapping, tax classification review, basis support, entity analysis, international exposure screening, and controversy readiness. Once records are reliable, planning levers may include tax-loss harvesting, gain and lot-selection timing, charitable gifts of appreciated digital assets, and entity or trader-status elections (including Section 475(f) considerations), each a coordination point requiring case-specific professional review.

Crypto & Digital Assets

Digital-asset tax file

Crypto work is organized around records, basis, income classification, entity context, international exposure, return integration, and examination readiness.

Who this serves

Investors, founders, funds, family offices, executives, and complex-asset owners with digital assets, staking, mining, DeFi, NFTs, token compensation, or exchange history.

Common risks

Issues escalate when basis records are missing, wallets are not mapped, foreign exchange exposure is ignored, income categories are unclear, or transactions are reconstructed after a notice.

MMVFO process

MMVFO coordinates data reconstruction, tax classification review, entity and international screening, advisor roles, and support for return or controversy teams.

Records and basis

Wallet addresses, exchange exports, transaction hashes, cost basis reports, staking records, mining records, token grants, and transfer histories may all be needed.

Risk coordination

Complex crypto matters may require forensic tools, specialist accountants, international review, legal counsel, or controversy support depending on scope.

FAQs

Yes. Entity structure, holding period, charitable gifts, state residency, and documentation are easier to review before a major transaction.
No. Securities, legal, and regulatory questions require qualified counsel.
