Everything You Need To Know About Crypto Taxes – Shehan Chandrasekera

The government is finally starting to pay attention to the crypto industry. If you own Bitcoin or any other crypto, you really need to understand the tax implications.

Unfortunately, most CPAs have no idea how this asset class is treated because it is still so new. Thankfully I was able to interview one of the leading experts in the world on crypto taxes! Shehan is the Head of Tax Strategy at CoinTracker and a highly decorated CPA.

We cover A LOT in this episode:

• Can the government find out what crypto holdings you have?
• What to do if you’ve never reported anything to the IRS about your crypto holdings before?
• How to harvest tax losses via the wash sale rule before it likely expires at the end of this year
• What crypto is taxable vs what crypto is not
• How to make up to $80k in crypto profits per year tax free
• and much much more!
