3 Things to Know for Cryptocurrency Taxes

Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and other internet-based currencies, are new to the world of finance. Although some CPAs might balk in dealing with clients who trade or mine these currencies, Edgewater CPA Group is ready for it. Laws regulating cryptocurrencies are new, and the market continues to change, but here are three things to keep in mind at tax time. 

 

1. Record assets gained or lost.

According to a 2019 survey by Blox, a cryptocurrency accounting platform, one of the biggest mistakes clients made in dealing in cryptocurrency was missing or inaccurate data. Tracking this data can be complex, and it’s very important to have a system in place that can manage the complicated nature of these currencies. 

2. Report assets gained or lost on your tax returns.

Although cryptocurrencies are new, the IRS has issued guidelines for reporting income and transactions for tax purposes. However, unlike practically every other finance-related aspect of running a business, guidelines for cryptocurrency accounting are still being worked out. What’s more, they continue to evolve. This can be complicating at tax time. 

3. Choose a CPA who knows cryptocurrency.

At Edgewater, we look at your specific cryptocurrency accounting needs. We work with all types of cryptocurrency and accept data from every digital currency trading exchange on the market. Our cryptocurrency tax preparation accountants pull the data and determine the income that should be reported as taxable.
