Crypto Tax Accountants — FAQs
Do I need to report crypto if I haven't cashed out?
Usually yes — disposing of crypto includes swapping one coin for another, spending it, and most DeFi interactions, not just converting to dollars. An accountant experienced with digital assets can reconstruct your transaction history and work out what's actually reportable.
What records does a crypto tax accountant need?
Exchange CSV exports or read-only API keys, wallet addresses, and records of any DeFi, staking or NFT activity. Good crypto accountants use reconciliation software that ingests these directly — you rarely need to hand-build a spreadsheet.
Investor or trader — why does it matter?
Investors pay CGT and can access the 50% discount after 12 months; traders treat gains as ordinary income with different deductions. The classification depends on your circumstances, and it's exactly the judgement call you want a specialist making.
