Crypto tax work is two skills wearing one name. The first is the asset class: how staking, mining, DeFi, NFTs, swaps, and airdrops are actually taxed, how basis gets reconstructed from dead exchanges, and how the 1099-DA reporting era changes who knows what. The second is the agency: how the IRS examines, matches, collects, and settles - the procedure that decides whether a crypto problem costs you a correction or a catastrophe. Most crypto tax services have the first skill. The second one takes decades, and it is the one that matters when the letter arrives.

There is also the conversation problem. Crypto histories often include things people hesitate to say out loud - unreported years, offshore exchanges, records that no longer exist. With an attorney, that conversation is privileged from the first minute, in a way no accountant or software platform can offer. Candor is the raw material of a good fix, and privilege is what makes candor safe.
