Your Crypto Taxes,
Filed With Precision.
Capital gains, staking income, forks, airdrops, and token swaps — each event classified correctly and reported with the appropriate cost-basis method. A tax return you can submit with confidence, prepared by people who understand both the on-chain mechanics and the reporting requirements.
A Tax Return That Accurately Reflects Your Digital Asset Activity
Crypto tax reporting has a specific challenge: the transactions are real, the tax liability is real, but the path from raw on-chain activity to a correctly filed return requires someone who knows both sides of the ledger.
What this service delivers is a prepared return — or the schedules that feed into one — where every taxable event from your digital asset activity has been identified, classified, and reported using the method that fits your situation. Not an approximation. Not a software export passed off as a filing.
When you hand this off to a filing accountant, or use it to complete your own return, the numbers behind it are sourced and defensible.
Why Crypto Tax Reporting Gets Complicated
Most people with active digital asset portfolios reach tax season with a version of the same problem: a lot of activity across a lot of platforms, and no clear picture of what any of it means for their return.
Automated tax tools can process exchange CSVs and produce a number — but that number often rests on misclassifications. Wallet-to-wallet transfers flagged as disposals. Staking rewards with incorrect cost basis. Token swaps that didn't go through the right tax treatment. Airdrops with no income record at all.
And when a tax authority asks for backup, "the software said so" isn't an acceptable answer. The documentation needs to trace back to real transaction data with a clear methodology behind it. That's a different kind of preparation than most automated tools provide.
- → Internal transfers misreported as taxable disposals by platform tools
- → Staking rewards valued at the wrong date or not reported as income at all
- → Hard fork receipts with no established cost basis in existing records
- → Token swap cost basis not carried forward correctly across the new position
- → Exchange-reported data that doesn't match actual on-chain history
- → Multi-jurisdiction activity with inconsistent treatment across different reporting requirements
How This Engagement Produces a Reliable Return
Crypto Tax Compliance at Hashledger starts with the transactions themselves — sourced from on-chain data and reconciled against exchange reports — not the other way around. Every event type is handled according to a defined classification framework aligned with current regulatory guidance, and the methodology applied to your cost-basis calculations is documented throughout.
Cost-Basis Method Selection
FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and specific identification — we discuss the options with you and apply the appropriate method consistently throughout the return.
Capital Gains Schedule Preparation
Short and long-term gains and losses calculated and formatted for the relevant schedule in your jurisdiction — ready to attach to or integrate into your return.
Income Event Documentation
Staking rewards, mining proceeds, and airdrop income recorded with fair-market-value at receipt and properly categorized as ordinary income on your return.
Fork & Airdrop Treatment
Hard forks and airdrops classified and valued according to applicable guidance — income recognition at receipt, cost-basis established for future disposals.
Exchange Reconciliation
Platform-provided reports compared against on-chain data. Errors and omissions in exchange CSVs corrected before they reach the return.
Supporting Documentation Package
Every figure in your return backed by sourced transaction data, methodology notes, and classification references — structured for audit response if needed.
Walking Through the Process
Tax compliance work follows a defined path from initial data gathering to final delivery. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Data Intake
You provide access to your transaction history — exchange exports, wallet addresses, and any records you already have. We identify what's complete and what requires on-chain reconstruction.
Reconstruction & Reconciliation
Transaction data verified against on-chain sources. Gaps in exchange records filled from blockchain explorers. Every event classified before calculations begin.
Calculation & Preparation
Cost-basis calculations run using your chosen method. Gains, losses, and income events computed and organized into the schedules needed for your return. CPA review before delivery.
Delivery & Handoff
Final package delivered with a review walkthrough. Returns structured for direct use in filing, or for handoff to your existing tax preparer with the supporting documentation they'll need.
What the Engagement Costs
Crypto Tax Compliance is a project-based engagement — a single fee covering the full scope of work from data intake through final delivery. Pricing reflects the complexity of what's involved, not just the hours.
This service is designed for taxpayers with moderate to complex crypto activity across the tax year — multiple platforms, diverse event types, and a genuine need for sourced documentation behind the numbers.
Single project fee. Covers the complete engagement from data intake to final delivery and review session.

What Makes the Figures Defensible
The difference between a return that holds up and one that doesn't usually comes down to what's behind the numbers — not how confident they look on the surface.
All transaction data sourced from blockchain explorers and verified APIs. Exchange-provided reports are treated as supporting references — not primary sources — and reconciled against what actually happened on-chain.
Classification framework aligned with current IRS guidance and OECD positions. Treatment of specific event types — particularly forks and DeFi activity — documented against the most recent available regulatory positions.
Every completed return reviewed by a licensed CPA before delivery. An additional layer of scrutiny that catches classification inconsistencies before they reach the filing stage.
How We Stand Behind the Work
If a calculation or classification error is identified in a completed return after delivery — one that originates from our processing and not from data you provided that later turned out to be incorrect — we'll review and correct it at no additional charge.
We begin every engagement with a scoping review — a chance to understand the scope of your activity and give you a clear picture of what the process involves before anything is committed to. You should know what you're getting before moving forward.
Unusually complex situations — deep DeFi history, multi-entity structures, multiple years requiring reconstruction — may warrant a scope discussion before we confirm the standard project fee applies.
