Laura and Joe – The Step-by-Step Guide to Doing Your Own Crypto Taxes

A comprehensive course that teaches you how to file your crypto taxes with confidence

Hi there! My name is Laura and I am a CPA who has specialized solely in cryptocurrency taxation since 2017. I am the owner of Crypto Tax Girl, one of the world’s most reputable crypto tax firms, and I have helped thousands of people with their crypto taxes. If you’ve reached out to me in the past, you know that I’m usually pretty booked out (and I’m not cheap), which is why I created this course!

My team and I have seen it all when it comes to crypto, and we know how frustrating of a process it can be to calculate your crypto taxes on your own. We know what the pain points are, and we know a ton of tips and tricks to make the process go smoothly. In this course, my colleague Joe and I share our entire process from beginning to end (the same process we use for all of our clients!), and we preemptively go over all of the issues that you might encounter along the way. We have over 50 easy-to-follow videos showing you how to import your data, clean it up, and pull your final tax reports.

After completing this course, you will be able to confidently file your tax return, you will have new tax skills that you can use to help make smarter decisions, and you will have a reliable set of data that you can rely on in case of an audit. Whether you’re new to crypto, or have thousands and thousands of transactions, this course is for you!
