We’d like to start preparing your 2023 financial statements and tax return and need information from you.
To accurately calculate your taxes, we need to have details of every single transaction involving buying, selling, swapping, earning/staking, gifting, airdrops, ICOs and margin/futures trading
We’d like to ensure we have all information (and identify any missing parts) before commencing your work. This will provide us with an overview of what to expect, to ensure your work is complete and accurate.
If you have not already done so, please complete a stock take of all tokens held today and email us the quantities of each token you own.
Can you please complete the checklist below and email it to us with a copy of your 2023 information?

This may include missing exchange information (no longer available), gifts of crypto, lost/stolen tokens, ICO’s, etc. We need to account for all tokens. If tokens are missing in your transaction history, or you have no records of the acquisition or disposal of tokens, this is likely to create time delays, issues in reconciling your portfolio, and the potential for increased accounting fees.
Once we have this information from you, we can then start processing your work. The earlier you provide the information to us, the earlier we can get started.
If you need any help in preparing this information please get in touch with Tim or Luca.
