How Tax Shield Monitors the IRS Before They Audit You

By Clinton Donnelly, CEO, Founder | CryptoTaxAudit 

The IRS knows you're a crypto trader.

They've been tracking transactions since 2018. High-volume traders, high-dollar traders, people with multiple exchanges and wallets, they're all on the IRS radar.

And they've all been worried about the same thing: when will the IRS come after me?

That fear is real. It's palpable. And it drove us to build a solution.

Key Takeaways

The IRS Is Monitoring You

You know the IRS is watching. They know you're a crypto trader.

They've been coming after traders since 2018. We've been representing those traders just as long: high-volume traders, high-dollar accounts, people managing dozens of exchanges and wallets.

The worry never stops. Every client asks: Am I next?

That's why we created Tax Shield.

How Tax Shield Sees Audits Coming

We’ve been monitoring IRS accounts since 2019.

Here’s what we can do: we can see sometimes more than six months in advance when the IRS has flagged you for an audit.

Not after they send the notice. Before.

The IRS develops audit cases internally before any notice is sent, as outlined in IRS audit and examination procedures.

We can also detect the primary triggers that would lead the IRS to send you an audit. We’re watching your situation with the IRS in real time.

This is the only tool out there that allows you to monitor the IRS while they’re monitoring you.

What Tax Shield Protects You Through

We don't just tell you an audit is coming. We protect you and support you all the way through it.

That means:

• Through the entire audit process
• All the way into tax court if needed
• With attorneys who've been victorious in tax court cases

Nobody has done as many crypto audits as we have. We know intimately how the IRS is coming after crypto traders.

When you purchase TaxShield, you get the entire force of our company behind you. We're here to protect you and keep you safe.

The Proof Is in Our Results

We don't just talk about defending audits. We've done it hundreds of times.

The proof is in our Trustpilot ratings. It's in our success ratings in tax court.

Not settlements. Not reduced penalties. Refunds.

Why I Built CryptoTaxAudit

My name is Clinton Donnelly. I founded CryptoTaxAudit because crypto traders had real and palpable fears about the IRS coming after them.

We've been representing crypto traders since 2018. We've seen how the IRS targets these cases. We've fought them in audit after audit and won in tax court.

When you deal with CryptoTaxAudit and you get our TaxShield product, you can sleep well at night knowing that we have your back.
