Unlike stocks, crypto has unique tax complexity. Every trade between coins (BTC to ETH, for example) is a taxable event. DeFi yields, staking rewards, and airdrops are taxed as ordinary income at the time received. NFT sales have their own rules. Always track your cost basis for every transaction. If you've been trading actively, crypto tax software is essential — manually tracking hundreds of swaps across multiple wallets and exchanges is practically impossible and error-prone. The IRS has been increasing crypto enforcement since 2023 and now receives transaction data directly from major exchanges.
