WHY CHAINBLOCK
Most CPAs scare you. We make this a breeze.
Crypto tax got branded “complicated” by people who don’t understand it. We do. So we built a practice that handles 1099-DA, DeFi, NFTs, audits, and back-year cleanup the way it should be handled: clearly, calmly, and on time.
01
Crypto-only. By choice.
We don’t also do dentists, contractors, and restaurants. Every active client is in crypto — traders, miners, founders, DeFi power users, NFT projects. Our depth shows up in the work product.
02
Transaction-by-transaction. Not just CSV-in / CSV-out.
Most “crypto tax” services accept your exchange CSV and trust it. We reconcile to the chain — wallet-by-wallet, transaction-by-transaction. That’s what survives audit. That’s what 1099-DA is forcing every preparer to do starting 2025.
03
1099-DA ready. Today, not 2026.
The new IRS digital-asset broker reporting form changes how every position is reported. We’ve been preparing for this since the proposed regs dropped. If you’re getting 1099-DAs from Coinbase, Kraken, or any U.S. broker, your prep is already in place.
04
Audit defense built into the engagement.
Every position we take on your return comes with the workpapers, source records, and reasoning behind it. If the IRS asks, we already have the answer. We’ve defended dozens of crypto audits — including the gnarly ones.
05
No scare-mongering. No upsell theater.
Other CPAs use complexity as a sales tool. We use clarity. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing, why, and how much before any engagement letter is signed. If we’re not a fit, we’ll tell you.
06
