We created these terms to protect both you and us, and to make sure expectations are clear from the start. Our goal is to deliver a premium service that safeguards your crypto tax reporting, while being fully transparent about how we work.

Scope of Service

• Crypto Safeguard provides tax data review and advisory services. We reconcile your crypto transaction history against exchange reports, classify activity accurately (airdrops, staking, NFTs, DeFi, etc.), and issue a corrected Form 8949 and a Defense File for your records.

• If you’ve used offshore exchanges such as Binance.com, KuCoin, or Bybit, you may be required to disclose these accounts under U.S. law. We help identify whether your activity triggers foreign account reporting requirements.

• Where applicable, we will file FBAR disclosures directly with FinCEN on your behalf and prepare any supporting documentation. For FATCA (Form 8938), we provide a completed draft for your tax preparer to include with your return.

• We prepare an IRS Audit Defense File containing reconciliations, supporting data, and explanatory notes, so that if your return is ever questioned, you are ready to respond immediately.

• If you receive an IRS crypto notice (such as a CP2000 underreporting letter), we include an initial written response as part of this package. Our goal is to minimize risk before the IRS comes knocking and to handle minor notices quickly so they don’t escalate into audits.

• We do not file your tax return with the IRS or any state authority. Final responsibility for submission of returns remains with you or your return preparer.

Data Quality & Additional Charges

• Our pricing assumes that you provide clean, accurate, and complete transaction data. This includes CSV exports from exchanges and wallets, and any prior-year records needed.

• If your files are messy, broken, incomplete, or require significant reconstruction, additional charges will apply to cover the extra work.

• We will always present these charges in advance for your review and approval before proceeding. If you choose not to continue after seeing the revised fee, we will issue a full refund.

Delivery Timeline

• Standard delivery is within 7 business days of receiving clean, usable files.

• “Timely delivery” means the 7-day period begins only once we have confirmed that your data is complete and ready for processing.

• If records are messy, incomplete, or require extensive reconstruction, delivery may be delayed. We will notify you promptly if this is the case.

Consultation & Access

• Each package includes one 30-minute tax consultation with a licensed CPA, valid for 30 days after purchase. This meeting is intended for personalized advice and clarification on your crypto tax position.

• You may also DM your CPA anytime via text or iMessage for quick questions.

• Quick questions are defined as short clarifications that can be answered without extensive analysis. If your inquiry requires in-depth research or goes beyond a brief response, we may ask you to schedule a full consultation. We reserve the right to determine when a question requires escalation.

Refund Policy

• Services are refundable within 90 days of purchase, provided that we have not already delivered the corrected 8949, Defense File, or other deliverables.

• Once deliverables have been issued, refunds are no longer available.

• If you choose not to proceed after we identify additional charges for messy or incomplete data, you will receive a full refund with no penalty.

Privacy & Confidentiality

• We respect your privacy and protect your data under the same standards of confidentiality that apply to CPA-client privilege. All records you provide are treated as confidential and will not be shared without your consent, except where required by law.

• To deliver services efficiently, we may use carefully selected third-party platforms and tools (such as transaction reconciliation software or secure file storage). These services are vetted for security and reliability, and your data will remain protected at all times. We never sell or disclose your information for marketing purposes.

Our Promise

Crypto tax reporting is complex, and the IRS is increasing its scrutiny of digital asset activity. Our role is to make sure your filings are correct, defensible, and audit-ready, so you can move forward with confidence. While these terms protect both sides, our priority is clear: we’re here to safeguard your crypto tax position and make the process easier, not harder.
