Why Choose Camuso CPA for Cryptocurrency Tax Resolution

PatrickCamuso42820C Copy1
Unfiled returns, IRS notices, back taxes, or an active audit, we resolve the full spectrum of cryptocurrency tax issues for investors. Backed by Forbes-recognized leadership in digital asset compliance.

If you’ve received an IRS notice, have unfiled cryptocurrency returns, or are facing an active audit the window to protect yourself is shorter than most investors realize. The IRS is accelerating digital asset enforcement, and delayed responses or inaccurate filings consistently lead to worse outcomes.

At Camuso CPA, we specialize in cryptocurrency tax resolution for digital asset investors. Whether you’re responding to a CP2000 notice, IRS Letter 6173 or 6174-A, cleaning up years of unreported crypto activity, or defending your position in an active audit, every engagement follows the same disciplined process. We analyze your IRS transcripts, reconstruct wallet and exchange activity at the transaction level, identify reporting gaps, and build a resolution strategy grounded in accurate data and sound tax methodology.

That process requires a Crypto CPA with technical judgment, consistent methodology, and documentation that can withstand IRS scrutiny. 

We’ve resolved six- and seven-figure IRS disputes for investors by reducing crypto tax exposure through amended returns, proper basis allocation, penalty abatement, and structured payment arrangements. As a Forbes-recognized CPA firm and one of the first in the U.S. to accept cryptocurrency, we bring nearly a decade of specialized experience to every case. 

Whether your issue started with a missing 1099-DA, unreported DeFi income, or years of unfiled returns, we build your defense from the transaction level up.

Patrick Camuso’s work on digital asset taxation policy 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.

How Our Cryptocurrency Tax Resolution Process Works

Case Assessment & Engagement Scope

Every resolution begins with a detailed review of your IRS notice, filing history, and digital asset activity. We evaluate the scope of the issue, whether it's a single CP2000 mismatch, multi-year unfiled returns, or an active examination and define a resolution strategy with clear timelines and deliverables before any work begins.

Forensic Investigation & IRS Compliance Review

Once authorized via Power of Attorney, we pull your IRS transcripts, reconstruct wallet and exchange activity at the transaction level, reconcile reported 1099s against actual cost basis, and identify every reporting gap or miscalculation. This is where most cases are won with accurate data and defensible methodology are the foundation of every resolution outcome.

IRS Negotiation, Resolution & Compliance Roadmap

We represent you directly with the IRS to resolve the issue, whether that means correcting a CP2000 assessment, defending an audit position, negotiating a payment arrangement, or securing penalty abatement. Once your case is closed, you receive final documentation and a forward-looking compliance plan to prevent future exposure.

Case Study

IRS Letter 6174-A 10 Years of Incomplete Crypto Records Reconstructed and Notice Resolved

Client Type High-Income Individual Investor
Notice IRS Letter 6174-A
History Reconstructed 10 Tax Years
Activity Multi-Exchange, Multi-Wallet, DeFi

The Problem

Client received an IRS Letter 6174-A after a decade of active crypto trading with incomplete accounting across multiple exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols. Prior software platforms had generated reports the client could not substantiate. A prior CPA had filed returns using those reports without reconstructing the underlying records. The IRS had third-party data the client's existing records could not reconcile, and several prior year filings contained incorrect cost basis and misclassified income.

What We Did

Reconstructed the complete digital asset transaction history across all exchanges, wallets, and on-chain activity spanning 10 years. Identified the specific errors in prior year filings including cost basis miscalculations, misclassified staking and DeFi income, and unreported disposals and filed corrected returns with audit-ready supporting documentation. Drafted and submitted the response to the IRS Letter 6174-A. Once the notice was resolved, implemented a forward-looking compliance system with ongoing portfolio accounting to prevent future exposure.

The Outcome

IRS Letter 6174-A resolved with a documented, substantiated response. All prior year filings corrected with defensible cost basis records and properly classified income. Client transitioned from a decade of unresolved exposure to a clean compliance position with an ongoing accounting system producing accurate, IRS-aligned reporting year over year.

Cryptocurrency Tax Resolution FAQ's


Cryptocurrency tax resolution is the process of resolving IRS disputes, penalties, or compliance failures related to digital asset activity. This includes responding to IRS notices like CP2000 or Letter 6173, filing or amending returns for unreported crypto income, defending your position during an active audit, and negotiating penalty abatement or payment arrangements. At Camuso CPA, every resolution engagement begins with forensic-level transaction reconstruction to ensure your case is built on accurate data.

Do not ignore it and do not respond without accurate documentation. IRS notices like CP2000, Letter 6173, and 6174-A each carry different response requirements and deadlines. A CP2000 means the IRS believes you underreported income based on exchange-reported data. A 6173 is a formal examination notice requiring a detailed response. Camuso CPA analyzes the specific notice, reconstructs your transaction history, and prepares a defensible response before your deadline.

Yes. The IRS uses blockchain analytics tools, exchange-reported data (1099 forms and the new 1099-DA), and wallet tracing software to identify unreported digital asset activity. Even self-custodied wallets, DeFi transactions, and cross-chain activity are traceable through advanced forensic tools. The question is not whether the IRS can find your activity — it's whether your reporting matches what they already have.

Unfiled cryptocurrency returns create compounding exposure with penalties, interest, and the risk of IRS enforcement action increase with each year. However, proactively filing before the IRS contacts you typically results in significantly better outcomes than waiting for a notice. Camuso CPA specializes in multi-year crypto tax cleanups, reconstructing transaction history across wallets and exchanges to produce accurate, defensible filings for every open tax year.

We pull data directly from exchanges, wallets, and on-chain records across every blockchain you've transacted on. This includes CEX trade history, DEX swaps, DeFi protocol interactions, staking rewards, bridge transfers, and NFT activity. We reconcile this data against your IRS transcripts and any previously filed returns to identify gaps, miscalculations, and unreported income. This forensic reconstruction forms the foundation of every resolution strategy we build. For investors with complex multi-chain portfolios, explore our dedicated cost basis reconstruction services.

Letter 6173 is a formal examination notice, the IRS is opening an audit and requiring a documented response. Letter 6174-A is a soft enforcement letter informing you that the IRS has information about your crypto activity and expects it to be reported. A CP2000 is an automated notice proposing additional tax based on a mismatch between exchange-reported data and your filed return. Each requires a different response strategy, and the consequences of a generic or inaccurate reply can escalate your case significantly.

In many cases, yes. The IRS offers penalty abatement for taxpayers who can demonstrate reasonable cause for filing or payment failures. First-time penalty abatement is also available for taxpayers with a clean compliance history. Camuso CPA evaluates your eligibility, prepares the supporting documentation, and negotiates directly with the IRS to reduce or eliminate penalties where the facts support it.

This is one of the most common situations we encounter. Software-generated reports frequently miscalculate cost basis, miss entire wallets, or misclassify DeFi activity — and many general-practice CPAs lack the technical knowledge to catch these errors. If your prior filings contain material inaccuracies, filing amended returns with corrected data is typically the safest path to reducing your exposure. We rebuild your records from the transaction level and correct what was filed incorrectly.

Timelines vary based on case complexity. A straightforward CP2000 response with clean records may take four to six weeks. Multi-year unfiled return cleanups with extensive DeFi activity typically take three to six months. Active IRS examinations can extend longer depending on the scope and the IRS's response cadence. We set clear timeline expectations during the initial case assessment and keep you informed at every stage.

In most cases, proactive amendment is the better strategy. Filing a corrected return before the IRS identifies the issue demonstrates good faith, which directly impacts penalty exposure and the IRS's posture toward your case. Waiting for the IRS to act first typically results in higher penalties, interest, and a more adversarial process. Camuso CPA evaluates whether amendment is strategically appropriate for your situation and handles the entire filing process.
