Common Issues

Common Crypto Tax Issues in New Hampshire

Missing or incomplete cost basis

Exchanges lose data, wallets get abandoned, and chain history gets fragmented. Reconstructing accurate cost basis across years of trading is the #1 challenge we solve.

DeFi and cross-chain complexity

Liquidity pool entries, yield farming, cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, and restaking events each create taxable moments that most software misses or misclassifies.

Unreported prior-year activity

Many crypto investors discover years of unreported trades after receiving an IRS letter. We help with back-year reconstruction, voluntary disclosure, and getting compliant without panic.
