If you've ever stared at your wallet history wondering how a $40 meme coin trade turned into a tax headache, this book is for you. Crypto Taxes for US Investors is a straight-talking, no-fluff guide designed to help everyday U.S. investors survive (and even optimize) crypto taxes without losing their sanity or their gains.

You'll finally understand what's taxable, what's not, and why ""crypto-to-crypto trades aren't taxed"" is one of the most expensive myths in the space. Inside, you'll learn how capital gains really work, how cost basis is calculated, and how to avoid common mistakes that trigger IRS notices. We break down wash sales (yes, even the crypto gray areas), explain how income is taxed from mining, staking, airdrops, and forks, and demystify DeFi activities like liquidity pools, lending, yield farming, and token swaps.
