Need help with crypto mining taxes, rig deductions, and self-employment tax?

// who we are

Crypto mining taxes are complex. They can also be expensive.

Mining Gets Taxed Twice, and Miners Overpay.

Your mined crypto is ordinary income the day it lands in your wallet, then a capital gain or loss whenyou sell. Miss the step where that receipt-date value becomes your cost basis, and you pay tax on thesame coins twice. We set the basis correctly so the second tax only hits real appreciation.

Business or Hobby? It Changes Everything.

Whether the IRS sees your mining as a business or a hobby decides your self-employment tax, and whether you can write off rigs, electricity, and hosting at all. Most miners guess. We classify it correctly and claim every deduction you're owed without overreaching.

Worried about CPA fees?

Crypto mining accounting has a reputation for runaway bills. We don't bill by the hour. Our plans scale with your volume and complexity, and every plan includes the software, the reconciliation, andthe finished report.

// who we are

"Miners get a raw deal at tax time. Payouts drip in daily at prices that never sit still, the IRS wants every one valued at the moment you received it, and the equipment and power that made it possible get written off wrong or not at all. Most accountants have never built a depreciation schedule for a mining rig. We built CountDeFi for exactly this: value the income stream properly, settle the businessor-hobby call, and hand you a report you can file with confidence."

Accurate mining reporting, from the first payout to the final sale

We've been reconstructing complex crypto and on-chain activity since 2017, and mining is one of thetrickiest income streams to get right. The hard part is rarely the rate. It's the valuation and theclassification. Mined crypto is taxed the moment you receive it, at its fair market value that day, and a busy rig produces hundreds of small receipts a year at prices that never hold still. Then the same coins are taxed again as a capital gain when you sell, with the receipt-date value carried as your basis. Get that basis wrong and you pay twice.

The second question is whether the IRS treats your mining as a business or a hobby, because that single call decides your self-employment tax and whether your rigs, power, and hosting are deductible at all. These aren't edge cases. It's the reality of mining in 2026. We reconstruct your payout history from pool records, wallet receipts, and the chain, value each reward correctly, build the depreciation and expense position your setup supports, and settle the classification so it holds up. The result is a return that reports what you actually earned and stands behind every deduction you take. Getting mining reporting right doesn't have to cost a fortune. At CountDeFi we do not bill by the hour. Our pricing scales with transaction volume and complexity, and all plans include software fees, transaction reconciliation, and a complete tax report.

Mining Income Reporting

We value every block reward and pool payout at its fair market value on the day you received it, so your income is reported correctly.

Pool & Payout Reconciliation

We reconcile drip payouts from Foundry, Antpool, F2Pool, and others into one clean income record.

Why crypto and bitcoin miners hire CountDeFi

Nobody mines to hand half of it back at tax time. Miners come to us for a few plain reasons. They want the smallest legal bill, because being taxed twice on the same coins or missing a deduction they were owed is money straight out of pocket. They want it done right, so the return holds up and doesn't resurface as a problem years later. They want to stay off the audit radar, since mining income the IRS can see and a return that doesn't match is exactly what draws attention. And they want all of it withouta CPA bill that rivals the tax it saves. That is what we deliver. We value the income properly, capture every deduction your setup supports, settle the classification, reconcile it against what the IRS already sees, and price the work so it costs less than it saves. You hand over the payouts and the receipts, and you get back a clean, audit-ready report.

Why tax apps can't manage mining reporting

No tax software, however capable, can decide whether your mining is a business or a hobby, build a depreciation schedule for your rigs, or defend a deduction if the IRS asks. Those calls move your final bill more than anything else does and need personalized attention and expertise.
