Cryptocurrency Tax Services for US Expats
Cryptocurrency taxation is complex enough domestically—add international residency to the equation, and you're dealing with a whole new level of tax challenges. US expats who trade crypto must navigate IRS virtual currency rules, determine which transactions are taxable events, track cost basis across multiple exchanges (including foreign ones), and understand how crypto interacts with the FEIE and Foreign Tax Credit. Our team combines deep expertise in both cryptocurrency taxation and international tax law. We help expat crypto traders properly classify and report their transactions, optimize their cost basis methodology, and handle the unique challenges of decentralized finance (DeFi), staking rewards, and NFTs for international taxpayers.
