Planning your crypto taxes ahead? Here's what deserves your attention before 2026 kicks in. Start by organizing all your transaction records from 2025—every trade, transfer, staking reward counts. Know your local tax brackets and long-term vs short-term capital gains rates. Consider timing your gains strategically if you're sitting on profits. Review your holdings position: are you hodling through the bull run or taking some chips off the table? Diversification plays a role here too. Set aside a portion now to cover potential tax liability—don't get caught off guard when filing season arrives. If you're serious about tax efficiency, look into tax-loss harvesting opportunities on underperformers. And here's the thing: keeping meticulous records isn't boring, it's actually protective. Proper documentation shields you when audits happen. Different jurisdictions treat staking, airdrops, and DeFi yields differently, so know the rules where you live. Finally, consult with an accountant who understands crypto if your portfolio's grown significant. A few hours of professional guidance now beats scrambling later.

The tax season is coming, get your books in order, or next year will be a nightmare... --- Same old tune, just recording and recording. I really want to ask, who is actually that diligent? --- That's the truth. Find an accountant who understands crypto, spend a little money, and avoid being hammered by the tax bureau later. --- Everyone's discussing taxes, but no one talks about how to dodge them haha. --- Brothers holding long-term positions, listen up. Cutting losses now really requires careful calculation before acting. --- I just hold my positions casually, too lazy to think so much... probably waiting to be fined. --- I need to research tax-loss harvesting; I feel it can save a lot. --- It's easy to say, but the key is knowing how your local regulations work—that's the real trap. --- Preparing early is definitely the right move. A bunch of messy books and waiting until year-end to realize it's a total collapse.

NGL, you really need to calculate the taxes in advance, or you'll be crying your eyes out when you file taxes next April... By the way, how do you all handle staking income? I’ve been just recording it for half a day here.

ngl Taxation is really overlooked by most people... It'll be too late when the IRS comes knocking.

Wait, is the launch window for this tax planning now open? Hurry up and calculate the fuel consumption for each transaction, or else all the profits will be pulled back by tax gravity.

NGL, you really need to understand the tax situation in advance, or it will be awkward if the tax authorities come knocking... Especially the parts about staking and airdrops, as rules vary greatly across different regions.

NGL, you really need to pay attention to taxes, or you'll regret it when the IRS comes after you.
