SEC Disclosures – Form 10-K / 10-Q (Public Companies)

  IRS Reporting – Annual Tax Forms (1040, 8949, Schedule D)

Individuals and businesses involved in buying, selling, mining, or receiving crypto must report activity to the IRS. This includes answering the crypto question on Form 1040, detailing asset disposals on Form 8949, and reporting gains or losses on Schedule D. We assist with accurate transaction tracking, tax form preparation, and audit support. 

 If crypto assets are held in foreign wallets or exchanges, you may be required to file FBAR (FinCEN) and FATCA (Form 8938). Even if these platforms aren't traditional banks, the IRS may still consider them foreign financial accounts. We evaluate your holdings and prepare the necessary disclosures.

How We Support You:

• Determine which filings apply to your crypto activity
   
• Prepare and submit required SEC, IRS, and Treasury documentation
   
• Track cost basis and document crypto transactions
   
• Offer representation and compliance support during audits

 Choose the Right Entity Structure
Forming the correct legal entity—such as an LLC or corporation—is essential for tax efficiency, liability protection, and regulatory clarity when operating in the crypto space. 

 Keep Accurate Transaction Records
Maintain detailed logs of all crypto transactions, including dates, amounts, wallet addresses, and purpose. This is critical for IRS reporting, audits, and capital gains calculations. 

 Understand Your Reporting Obligations
Know when you're required to file disclosures such as Form 8949, FBAR, FATCA, or SEC Form D. Staying ahead of federal and state filing deadlines helps avoid penalties and ensures legal compliance.
