I've been in crypto since 2016 and ive made over 7 figures. I have used etherdelta, bittrex and just about any other exchange. I don't even have access to half of my logs at this point. Has anyone been in the same shoes and has filed? I'm completely terrified on how to file and then they ask me for proof of shit I can't even prove myself. I also live in america.

What if I just say yes I traded crypto and give them like a thousand dollars? I mostly bought and held. If they get payed they are happy, and if they audit that means they find everything and file it correctly for me. There's no way to lose with this plan right? I consolidated about $3200 into link in 2018/19 with shitcoins like lit, ftm, und, only making a profit on und. There was also 1.1btc but that was a 3k loss to get 14k link.
I literally have no idea what I'm doing and I'm sure any tax prep I scrounge together all my notes for is not willing to risk their license or whatever to try and fix it because they don't want the liability or be known as the crypto guy.

Basically this. Transfer holdings to Monero, send funds to a cold storage wallet. Create a Trust in a Tax haven with you as the beneficiary, create an international LLC owned by Trust with you as the manager. Send Monero from cold storage to another cold storage. If asked what happens tell them someone hacked your private key/exchange account. Open bank account for LLC and open a commercial account on an exchange. Or even just buy assets directly with the crypto, and have them legally owned by LLC. Buy house in states with LLC, legally rent from LLC (or subsidairy of LLC), effectively reduce your taxable income through said payments.

If you've been trading a lot in the years since 2017, Idk what to tell you
After they clarified all that shit in 2018 basically saying you have to pay your taxes on crypto I stopped trading and just hodled

However OP I don't think you understand how the IRS works
You only get fucked if you get audited, and even if you do, oftentimes something so much as a spreadsheet or piece of paper saying "I bought at this price on this date and sold at this price on this date" will get you off the hook
I mean that's literally what your trade logs are, just downloading a spreadsheet
A family friend of mine runs a business and whenever she has unaccounted money or something she wants to deduct, she just draws up a receipt on paper for it and the exact amount

Hypothetically you could just take your bank withdrawals, $ amounts and dates of withdrawal, because they do know that info, and calculate an intricate timeline of when you could've bought say BTC over the years to get you to exactly where you really are now.
This method is even more credible when a lot of your data is effectively lost or at least not worth finding for the IRS through semiuncooperative exchange practices

Another strategy is to periodically buy and sell at the highs and dips. Not exactly practical and you could lose money doing this, but for example: If you start at 10k and it goes to 100k, buy and sell at 100k. Then if it drops to 50k buy and sell at 50k, which gives you 50k capital losses to deduct. Then if you cash out at 60k you deduct 50k capital losses amounting to your original 10k and you pay zero tax, even though you really went from 10k to 60k.

>> No.22591826

>>22591704
If you just cashed out at 100k you’d pay 37% on the 90k profit so you’d walk away with 57k in gains instead of 50k in the example where you cash out 60k. So it can be a losing strategy, but if you buy/sell at 100k, buy/sell at 50k, and it goes back to 100k, then you’re back to 90k in gains and only have to pay taxes on 40k of it.

>> No.22591884

>>22591826
So if the long term trajectory is positive you can use this strategy to reduce your taxes to potentially less than the 20% capital gain tax that requires you to hold for a year.
