2026 IRS 1099-DA matching wave is live

Got an IRS CP2000 about your crypto?

Your broker reported gross proceeds with $0 cost basis on tokens you transferred between wallets. The IRS thinks you owe tax on the full amount. We generate your complete response package in minutes, ready for your CPA to review before you submit.

The IRS notice is correct on paper. Your tax return is correct in reality.

The 2025 tax year is the first full Form 1099-DA season. Brokers report gross proceeds but cannot report cost basis for tokens transferred in from another wallet. The IRS auto-matches the difference and assumes the basis is zero. Three patterns drive the notices that are landing in mailboxes right now.

Pattern 1

Your broker reported a $0 cost basis on crypto you transferred between wallets.

Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, and every other broker reports gross proceeds only when an asset arrives from off-platform. The IRS treats unreconciled proceeds as fully taxable until you prove otherwise.

Pattern 2

The IRS says you owe more than you actually do. By a lot.

Analysis of the 2025 filing season shows an average $14,500 overstatement per investor with multi-wallet activity. Phantom gains are common for stakers, multi-chain users, and anyone who used a hardware wallet.

Pattern 3

You have 30 days to respond. No CPA in your network handles crypto.

Crypto-specialized CPAs charge hundreds to thousands of dollars per response and many will not take new clients in tax season. The auto-assessment clock does not pause.

How it works

Upload your notice and wallet addresses

Drop the CP2000 PDF (or Letter 6173 / 6174-A). Paste your wallet addresses and exchange CSV exports. Five minutes.

We reconstruct the real transaction history

We query Etherscan and Blockchair across every chain you used, identify wallet-to-wallet transfers, compute per-wallet FIFO cost basis under Rev. Proc. 2024-28, and quantify the discrepancy with the IRS figure.

Your CPA reviews and signs off

You get a complete response package: cover letter, corrected Form 8949 schedule, cost-basis workpaper, transfer documentation, exhibit index. Your CPA spends 30 minutes reviewing what would otherwise take 10 hours.

What you get in the package

A single bundled PDF with everything an IRS examiner expects to see in a documented response. Built to a CPA review standard.

Document A: Cover letter

Formal IRS correspondence. References your notice number, the tax year, the specific position you are taking, and the IRC sections that support it. Two to three pages, first-person, attorney-quality tone.

Document B: Corrected Form 8949 schedule

Every transaction with date acquired, date disposed, proceeds, basis, and gain or loss. Transfers excluded with explanation column. Totals tie to the cover letter.

Document C: Cost basis workpaper

Per-wallet lot tracking, FMV sources cited (CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap historical), full audit trail from wallet address to transaction hash to basis figure.

Document D: Transfer documentation

Every wallet-to-wallet transfer the broker mis-reported, paired with its receive leg, with an explanation of why each is not a taxable event under current law.

Common questions

Is this legal?

Yes. NoticeReady is a document-preparation product, the same regulatory category as LegalZoom. We are not a CPA firm, not a law firm, and not an IRS-enrolled agent. Every page of the output carries a disclaimer instructing you to review with a qualified tax professional before submission. The CPA on the back end is what makes the response defensible. We give them a clean starting point.

What if the output is wrong?

That is exactly why your CPA reviews before you submit. Spreadsheet errors are the single most common cause of failed responses, and a CPA catching a discrepancy in 30 minutes is the whole point of the workflow. If the output is not useful to you or your CPA, tell us at support@duskware.app and we will look at what went wrong.

What if I don't have all my wallet addresses?

Partial reconciliation still works. The packages we generate flag any wallet you could not surface and note it in the workpaper. Even reconstructing 80% of your history usually proves that the broker-reported figure is wrong by a quantifiable margin.

Can I upload exchange CSVs as well as wallet addresses?

Yes. We accept CSV exports from Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Crypto.com, Binance.US, and most major venues. The CSVs are reconciled against on-chain history wherever possible to catch the broker's $0-basis errors.

How long does it take?

Minutes after you submit. The blockchain queries and the document generation run on edge infrastructure and you receive the package by email when complete. Expect under ten minutes for a typical CP2000 with up to ten wallets.

Do you store my financial data?

No. We use your uploads and wallet addresses to generate your package, deliver it by email, and then delete everything within 7 days. Nothing is sold to third parties. Wallet addresses themselves are public on-chain data, but we do not retain a link between an address and your identity once delivery is complete.

The 30-day clock is running.

Missed deadlines roll into automatic assessment with interest. The fastest move is to generate the response, hand it to a CPA, and have something defensible on file before the window closes.
