Welcome to crypto tax clarity.

Best current interpretation of bridging tax implications: → Bridging a token to its wrapped version is probably not taxable (same beneficial ownership) → Bridging to a different asset entirely = taxable swap → Gas fees = part of your basis adjustment A conservative approach would be to track the transaction either way.

What to do: -> Pull IRS transcripts for 2019-2022 -> Look for assessed penalties and interest -> File Form 843 (or a protective claim to preserve your rights) Full breakdown + FAQ 👇cointracker.io/blog/covid-ir…

Airdrop tax 101: ✅ Income at FMV once you have "dominion and control" ✅ Your cost basis going forward = that FMV ✅ If worthless at receipt, value is $0 (full gain is realized at sale) ❌ Ignoring it because it was "free" is not a strategy The IRS sees what's onchain.

Staking rewards, in plain English: → Rewards are income the moment you receive them (IRS Rev. Rul. 2023-14) → Income = FMV at time of receipt → When you later sell those rewards, you have a separate capital gain/loss → Two taxable events, not one This is why staking-heavy portfolios need timestamp-level tracking.
