Why crypto cases end up on a lawyer's desk
Most crypto tax problems are not really crypto problems. They are examination problems, penalty problems and unreported-income problems that happen to involve digital assets. The IRS uses the same notices, the same summons power and the same penalty statutes it has always used. What changes is the evidence: exchange records, wallet histories, Forms 1099-DA and a cost basis someone has to rebuild.
A lawyer brings two things software cannot. The first is privilege. What you tell your lawyer for the purpose of legal advice stays between you and your lawyer, and that matters when years of unreported gains are on the table. The second is judgment about sequence: when to answer, when to amend, when to ask for Appeals, and when to let the IRS make its case.
Where I can help
Federal tax controversies are federal. I represent taxpayers before the IRS nationwide, and I am admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court, which is where most disputed deficiency cases end up if they do not settle.
