Preparing your experience
If you trade or invest or get paid in digital assets — cryptocurrency tax services make sure every wallet item, platform and transaction ends up in the correct place on the return. Alexander Accountants, CPA focuses on U.S. taxpayers who want accurate filings and steady support — on crypto gains and losses as well as income.
Cryptocurrency tax services are focused tax and accounting solutions — dedicated for people and businesses that buy, sell, swap, or earn digital assets.
Our professional team at Alexander Accountants, CPA:

applies current IRS rules
prepares your return
so that your digital holdings fit neatly into your wider tax situation.
The IRS treats virtual currency as property — so many disposals create a taxable capital gain or loss.
In parallel, selling coins, or trading one token for another, or spending crypto on goods and services can all trigger reporting obligations.

Crypto taxes are simply the income — and capital gains taxes you owe on digital asset activity like selling coins for fiat currency, swapping tokens, or getting paid for goods or services in crypto. The IRS treats most digital assets as property — so when you dispose of them, you generally recognize a gain or loss that belongs on the federal tax return.
You must report crypto activity — if you sold, exchanged, spent, or earned digital assets during the year — even if you did not receive a tax form from an exchange. The IRS expects anyone with taxable virtual currency transactions to include income or gains as well as losses on their federal return under current crypto taxation legislation.
If you leave crypto trades or income off your return — you basically risk back taxes, interest, and possible penalty payments once the IRS matches your information or reviews your account. As reporting rules expand for digital assets — skipping required details instead of using proper cryptocurrency tax filing services can increase the audit and notice risk.
You can generally deduct crypto losses — when you sell or otherwise dispose of a digital asset for less than your cost — and those losses are treated the same way as other capital losses.
Form 8949 is the IRS form — used to list each taxable sale or disposal of property. It covers digital assets along with dates, proceeds and cost basis as well as resulting gain or loss. Once you sell or trade crypto, those transactions are normally summarized on Form 8949 and then flow to Schedule D.
