Driving "without insurance"?

You protect your car. You protect your house. So why leave your crypto investments exposed?

Many crypto traders have tried hiding from the IRS, but those days are over. The IRS now has access to records from every U.S. crypto exchange, making it easy for them to track your transactions and link your wallet addresses directly to you.

With our defense membership plans, you and your crypto wealth are shielded from IRS audits, whether we prepared your tax return or not. No need to worry about financial devastation from an IRS audit. We've got your back during an audit, and we'll even work proactively to help you avoid an audit altogether!

What about the cost of an IRS audit?

You might wonder why audit defense seems expensive. People who have been through IRS audits marvel at our affordable rates. Let's break it down.

Real life stories

Audit defense strategy

A few months after joining as an Audit Defense Full Protection member, we alerted Joe of an impending IRS audit. We scheduled a call with him, laid out our defense strategy, and took over from there. Now Joe can sleep easy knowing we’ve got his back.

Crypto expert witness

Mike was audited nearly three years ago and he just won his case in tax court. It would have cost him over $200,000 to defend himself, but with Audit Defense, we covered it all. We even provided a crypto tax expert witness that we flew to U.S. tax court. Now Mike is free from the grips of the IRS.

Crypto is life changing.

Crypto means different things to different people. These include personal liberty, financial freedom, and much more. Don't let this incredible opportunity be marred by incorrect tax reporting, inexperienced representation, or the high cost of an audit.

At CryptoTaxAudit, we have defended more crypto traders against the IRS than anyone else in the industry. Plus, we are the pioneers in offering defense membership protection designed specifically for digital asset traders. Like car insurance though, it's wise to join before you need it. Joining after being selected for an IRS audit will require a one-time initial response fee.
