Crypto CPA for the Digital Asset Compliance Era
For investors, high-volume traders, and Web3 founders with meaningful cryptocurrency exposure, compliance begins with historical accounting and cost basis integrity. Multi-wallet portfolios frequently contain fragmented transaction histories, incomplete cost basis continuity, inconsistent treatment of internal transfers, and prior-year methodologies that no longer align with current IRS standards. Without disciplined historical accounting and cost basis reconstruction, tax reporting positions lack structural reliability.
As a specialized Crypto CPA firm, we begin by restoring that foundation. We perform transaction-level reconstruction across custodial and non-custodial environments, normalize on-chain activity, and realign reporting methodologies across tax years to establish continuity and defensibility.
From there, we implement forward-looking compliance systems including formal 1099-DA reconciliation, federal and multi-state tax filings, ongoing portfolio accounting and structured analysis of complex positions arising from DeFi activity, staking, token compensation, and cross-entity structures. Strategic tax planning is integrated throughout.
Patrick Camuso’s work in digital asset taxation has been published in Tax Notes alongside a former head of the IRS Office of Digital Assets and co-author of the Section 6045 digital asset broker regulations, and has been covered by Bloomberg Tax, Accounting Today, Business Insider, MarketWatch, Morningstar and other major publications. He has spoken at ETHDenver and leading Web3 conferences on the structural shifts defining digital asset compliance.
Our Process: From Portfolio Assessment to Ongoing Tax Strategy
Step 1: Portfolio Assessment & Exposure Review
This assessment identifies historical reporting gaps, cost basis discontinuities, and potential exposure under current IRS guidance. Engagement scope and methodology are defined at this stage.
Step 2: Historical Accounting & Cost Basis Reconstruction
Transaction-level reconciliation is performed across custodial and non-custodial environments. We restore continuity across tax years, normalize internal transfers, and realign allocation methodologies to current standards. Where necessary, prior reporting positions are evaluated and corrected.
Step 3: Compliance Execution & Reporting Alignment
With accounting integrity established, we prepare federal and multi-state cryptocurrency tax filings and formally reconcile reporting against third-party data, including Form 1099-DA. Documentation is structured for defensibility under audit review.
Step 4: Ongoing Tax Strategy & Structural Optimization
Forward-looking advisory addresses capital positioning, entity elections, liquidity timing, multi-jurisdiction exposure, and complex transaction analysis across DeFi, NFTs, staking, token compensation, and related structures.

Cryptocurrency CPA FAQ
CPA is a licensed CPA with specialized expertise in digital asset taxation, blockchain accounting, and IRS compliance for cryptocurrency investors and Web3 businesses. Tax software like TurboTax or Koinly can handle simple transaction histories but cannot reconstruct fragmented cost basis, resolve IRS notices, handle DeFi complexity, or provide strategic planning. A Crypto CPA provides audit-defensible filings, proactive tax strategy, and direct IRS representation.
Do not ignore it. IRS letters regarding cryptocurrency, including CP2000 notices, Letter 6173, Letter 6174, and Letter 6174-A, require a timely, accurate response. These notices typically indicate a mismatch between your reported income and third-party data the IRS received. Camuso CPA analyzes the notice, reconstructs the relevant transaction history, prepares the appropriate response, and communicates directly with the IRS on your behalf
Form 1099-DA is a new IRS reporting form that requires cryptocurrency exchanges and brokers to report gross proceeds from digital asset sales directly to the IRS, beginning with the 2025 tax year. This means the IRS will now have direct visibility into your crypto activity. If your historical filings contain gaps, mismatches, or unreported transactions, 1099-DA creates significant audit exposure. Reconciling your records before IRS matching begins is critical.
Yes. Camuso CPA specializes in multi-year crypto tax cleanups, including portfolios with missing exchange data, defunct platforms, incomplete records, and prior returns that understated or overstated gains. We reconstruct transaction history from blockchain data, API exports, bank records, and CSV fragments then prepare amended returns or original filings and manage any IRS resolution required.
On-chain activity that generates no third-party reporting such as DeFi swaps, liquidity pool activity, staking rewards, NFT sales, bridging transactions, and airdrop income still constitutes taxable events under IRS guidance. Camuso CPA tracks and categorizes this activity at the transaction level across every protocol and chain, applying current IRS standards to ensure accurate reporting regardless of whether a 1099 was issued.
Yes. The majority of our engagements involve high-net-worth investors with multi-exchange portfolios, significant DeFi exposure, cross-border considerations, or multi-year reporting gaps. Our work is structured for portfolios where accuracy, defensibility, and strategic planning carry real financial consequences, not for simple single-exchange situations that software can handle.
Yes. Tax planning is integrated into every engagement, not added at year-end. We address capital gains timing, holding period optimization, loss harvesting, entity structuring, liquidity event planning, and jurisdictional exposure. For high-volume traders and investors with significant unrealized positions, proactive planning consistently produces five to six figure tax savings annually.
Yes. Camuso CPA is one of the few firms in the country with deep expertise in prediction market taxation. We work with active traders on Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood Markets, and other platforms.
Camuso CPA has operated exclusively in the digital asset space since 2016, predating most firms currently claiming crypto expertise. Patrick Camuso was recognized by Forbes as a 2025 Best-in-State Top CPA. We have handled portfolios ranging from individual investors to crypto funds processing tens of millions of transactions annually.
Most crypto investors don't know their filings contain errors until they receive an IRS notice. Common indicators of inaccurate reporting include Camuso CPA offers portfolio assessments that identify these exposures before they become enforcement problems. Investors who have used multiple exchanges, moved assets between wallets, or participated in DeFi are particularly likely to have unreported gaps.
