South Dakota has no state income tax, so your cryptocurrency gains are taxed only at the federal level. While this simplifies the state side, federal crypto tax rules are complex, every trade, swap, DeFi yield event, airdrop, and NFT sale must be reported on Form 8949 and Schedule D. A crypto-specialized CPA ensures nothing is missed.
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.
Liquidity pool entries, yield farming, cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, and restaking events each create taxable moments that most software misses or misclassifies.
