We provide end-to-end crypto tax preparation, crypto accounting, crypto tax planning, IRS resolution, Web3 accounting, subledger integration, and CFO advisory services tailored for digital assets.      I received a 1099-DA from my exchange, what do I do now?  A 1099-DA is the new IRS broker reporting form for digital assets, and receiving one doesn't mean your taxes are automatically correct. Exchanges often report proceeds without accurate cost basis, which can overstate your gains significantly. The first step is to reconcile the 1099-DA figures against your actual transaction history across all wallets and exchanges, not just the one that issued the form. If the numbers don't match, you'll need to reconstruct your cost basis before filing. Our Form 1099-DA Compliance & Reconciliation service handles this end to end. You can also read our full investor guide: IRS Form 1099-DA: The Definitive 2025\u20132026 Guide to Crypto Tax Reporting, Compliance & Cost Basis Rules for Taxpayers.      What does a crypto CPA do that a regular accountant can't?  A crypto CPA understands on-chain transaction environments including wallet-to-wallet transfers, DeFi yield, staking rewards, NFT sales, multi-chain activity, and cost basis tracking across dozens of exchanges. At Camuso CPA, we've specialized exclusively in digital assets since 2016, before most firms knew what a wallet address was. See the full scope of what we handle on our Crypto CPA page.      Do you serve clients nationwide or only in North Carolina and Tennessee?  We serve clients globally but operate from Charlotte, NC and Knoxville, TN, two emerging hubs for crypto finance and fintech innovation.      How are DeFi, staking rewards, and yield treated for taxes?    Each type of on-chain income is treated differently by the IRS. Staking rewards are generally ordinary income at fair market value when received. DeFi yield, liquidity pool activity, and lending income follow similar treatment but require transaction-level reconciliation to classify correctly. Swaps and token conversions are taxable events. Getting these wrong is one of the most common sources of audit risk for active crypto users. Our Cryptocurrency Portfolio Accounting service handles classification and reporting for all on-chain activity.      Was Camuso CPA really the first to accept crypto payments?  Yes, Camuso CPA was one of the first U.S. accounting firms to accept cryptocurrency directly for services, proving early crypto-native roots.      I haven't filed crypto taxes in multiple years, what happens now?  Unfiled crypto returns create compounding risk: failure-to-file penalties, failure-to-pay penalties, and interest that grows over time. The IRS now receives 1099 data from major exchanges, so gaps in your filing history become easier to detect. The right approach is to reconstruct your full crypto history, file back returns accurately, and then resolve any penalties through abatement or an Offer in Compromise where applicable. We've resolved situations like this for clients with seven years of unfiled activity and six-figure IRS liabilities. Our Crypto Tax Resolution & IRS Representation service handles this from start to finish.      My old crypto records are a mess, can you still file my taxes accurately?  Yes. Incomplete records are one of the most common situations we handle. We reconstruct your cost basis by pulling transaction data directly from exchanges, on-chain sources, and wallet histories, going back as far as your earliest activity. This is called crypto cost basis reconstruction, and it's essential if you've lost records, used multiple platforms over the years, or received inaccurate 1099s. Accurate historical accounting is what separates a defensible filing from one that creates audit exposure.      Who leads the team at Camuso CPA?  Camuso CPA is led by Patrick Camuso, a nationally recognized crypto tax expert and 2025 Forbes Best-In-State Top CPA, known for helping investors and founders navigate complex digital asset accounting and tax with precision.      Are prediction market profits taxable, and how do I report them?    Yes, profits from platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are taxable. The classification depends on how the contracts are structured. We specialize in this area and offer dedicated Prediction Market Tax Reporting services.

            "@type": "Answer",
            "text": "A 1099-DA is the new IRS broker reporting form for digital assets, and receiving one doesn't mean your taxes are automatically correct. Exchanges often report proceeds without accurate cost basis, which can overstate your gains significantly. The first step is to reconcile the 1099-DA figures against your actual transaction history across all wallets and exchanges, not just the one that issued the form. If the numbers don't match, you'll need to reconstruct your cost basis before filing. Our Form 1099-DA Compliance & Reconciliation service handles this end to end."

            "text": "Each type of on-chain income is treated differently by the IRS. Staking rewards are generally ordinary income at fair market value when received. DeFi yield, liquidity pool activity, and lending income follow similar treatment but require transaction-level reconciliation to classify correctly. Swaps and token conversions are taxable events. Getting these wrong is one of the most common sources of audit risk for active crypto users. Our Cryptocurrency Portfolio Accounting service handles classification and reporting for all on-chain activity."

            "@type": "Answer",
            "text": "Unfiled crypto returns create compounding risk: failure-to-file penalties, failure-to-pay penalties, and interest that grows over time. The IRS now receives 1099 data from major exchanges, so gaps in your filing history become easier to detect. The right approach is to reconstruct your full crypto history, file back returns accurately, and then resolve any penalties through abatement or an Offer in Compromise where applicable. We've resolved situations like this for clients with seven years of unfiled activity and six-figure IRS liabilities. Our Crypto Tax Resolution & IRS Representation service handles this from start to finish."

            "@type": "Answer",
            "text": "Yes. Incomplete records are one of the most common situations we handle. We reconstruct your cost basis by pulling transaction data directly from exchanges, on-chain sources, and wallet histories, going back as far as your earliest activity. This is called crypto cost basis reconstruction, and it's essential if you've lost records, used multiple platforms over the years, or received inaccurate 1099s. Accurate historical accounting is what separates a defensible filing from one that creates audit exposure."
