  Another mistake to avoid is not keeping proper records of your crypto transactions. It's crucial to maintain detailed records of all your trades, purchases, and sales, including the cost basis and fair market value at the time of the transaction. This will make it easier for your tax advisor to accurately calculate your gains or losses and report them correctly on your tax return.
