Continuity Matters, Especially in Crypto
We’ve been in the crypto space since 2017. We know crypto investments have their own unique challenges. Here are a few reasons we want to ensure you have continuity of support:
- Complexity: Bitcoin’s original vision of simplifying finance is long gone. Cryptocurrency transactions can be highly complex. With various types of tokens, exchanges, wallets, and trading strategies, manually tracking every transaction can be overwhelming and error-prone.
- Volatility: Any investor in the crypto space knows that cryptocurrencies are known for their price volatility. The frequent price fluctuations make it challenging to determine the exact value of your holdings at any given time, which is crucial for accurate tax reporting.
- Regulatory Changes: Cryptocurrency tax regulations are continually evolving. Staying up-to-date with these changes is daunting yet necessary to avoid potential legal issues.
Switch to ZenLedger Now, Avoid Hassles Later
We realize Taxbit’s decision probably feels stressful. And while it might be tempting to put off the decision to switch to ZenLedger, staying on top of your accounts is crucial to avoid anxiety on April 15 and beyond. That’s because tax regulations will change for crypto in the next couple of years at a minimum.
For example, President Biden’s proposed budget for the fiscal year 2024 introduces a change in the tax treatment of “wash sales” involving digital assets.
A wash sale happens when you sell securities at a loss and buy the same shares within 30 days before or after the sale date. The government enforces wash sale rules to prevent investors from creating a deductible loss for the purpose of offsetting gains with only a short interruption in owning the security.
Additional cryptocurrency-related provisions in the budget include alterations to mark-to-market tax regulations to encompass digital assets. A mark-to-market system imposes annual taxes on the change in an asset’s value year-over-year, as opposed to capital gains, which (as of now) are taxed only when the investor sells the asset. Finally, the proposed regulations include a disclosure mandate for U.S. citizens with substantial holdings in foreign digital asset accounts to report these holdings to the IRS.
While the above changes are not official, they give you an idea of the complex direction that crypto taxes are heading, with more oversight and compliance requirements.
Key Features to Look For in Crypto Tax Software
Filing crypto taxes involves a lot of complexity, so choosing a full-featured solution is essential. When selecting a crypto tax software, consider the following features:
- Support for Multiple Exchanges and Wallets: Ensure the software supports all the exchanges and wallets you use, as this will make it easier to import your transaction history.
- Real-time Data Integration: Look for software that integrates with popular crypto exchanges and provides real-time data synchronization.
- Tax Reporting: The software should generate comprehensive tax reports, including capital gains, income, and transaction history reports.
- Tax Optimization Tools: Some software offers tools to help legally minimize your tax liability.
- User-Friendly Interface: A user-friendly interface makes navigating and using the software easier.
- Security: Ensure the software has robust security measures to protect sensitive financial data.
- Customer Support: Excellent customer support can be invaluable if you encounter any issues while using the software.
- Cost: Consider the pricing structure, including whether it offers a free trial or a money-back guarantee.
Crypto taxes are daunting because the detail required for tax reporting is overwhelming if you have more than just a few transactions. Not to mention, the rules are still changing from year to year. Be sure you have the right partner in your corner that offers the features you need.
