CountDeFi.
Specialists in IRS crypto audits and notice resolution.
If the IRS are knocking on your door, you need to act. ountDeFi provides specialized tax accounting for US crypto investors under audit or holding an IRS notice. We're not just accountants, we're data scientists who reconstruct your full transaction history to answer the IRS with evidence, not guesswork. If you've had a letter, a CP2000, or a full examination, and the numbers don't match what you actually made, CountDeFi can help with affordable plans.
We operate online and in your timezone.
A Letter With a Deadline Is Scary.
An IRS notice comes with a clock, and ignoring it only makes things worse. We read exactly what they're asking, tell you what it really means, and respond before the deadline. Count on us to back you up.
The IRS Number Is Usually Too High.
A CP2000 is auto-generated from exchange -DA gross proceeds with no cost basis, so it can claim you owe tax on money you never made. We rebuild your real numbers and push back with evidence.
Worried about CPA fees?
Fighting the IRS 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 reconstruction, the response, and the finished report.
// who we are
"An IRS crypto letter lands and people panic, but most of the time the notice is built on incomplete data, not a real debt. The exchange reported what you sold and told the IRS nothing about what you paid. We built CountDeFi for exactly this: rebuild the history, prove the real numbers, and deal with the IRS professionally."

The IRS number is a starting point, not the final word
We've been reconstructing complex crypto and on-chain activity since 2017, and we've seen the same pattern over and over. A notice quotes a frightening figure, and it falls apart the moment someone rebuilds the actual cost basis behind it.T he hard part is rarely the argument. It's the evidence and the deadline. Exchanges report gross proceeds to the IRS with no record of what you paid, so the system assumes your cost was zero and bills you on the full amount. And every notice runs on a clock, so a strong position is worth nothing if your response misses the window.
This is the reality of crypto in 2026, not an edge case. Millions of 1099s now flow to the IRS, and the mismatches they create are landing are triggering letters, notices and audits. Without rebuilt records and a response filed on time, you can't show what you really owe, and a wrong number can stand simply because nobody answered it properly.
CountDeFi reconstructs the transaction history behind the notice, calculates what you actually owe, and prepares the response the IRS needs to see. Getting an audit handled doesn't have to cost a fortune. We do not bill by thehour. Our pricing scales with transaction volume and complexity, and every plan includes the reconstruction, the response, and a complete supporting report.

// EXPERT SKILLS
Why crypto investors under audit hire CountDeFi
Nobody wants to face the IRS alone, least of all over a crypto history they can barely reconstruct themselves. People come to us for a few simple reasons. They want the letter to stop being a threat, handled by someone who has answered hundreds of them. They want the real number instead of the inflated one, because paying tax on proceeds you never profited from is money straight out of pocket. They want to stay out of deeper trouble, since an unanswered notice can escalate into a full examination. And they want all of it resolved without a bill that rivals the tax itself. That is what we do. We take the notice off your desk, rebuild the records that prove your actual position, respond to the IRS on your behalf, and price the work so it never costs more than it saves. You hand over the letter and the mess, and you get back a clear answer and a response the IRS can accept.

Why tax software can't answer an audit
Tax software is a great starting point, but an IRS notice is not a data-entry problem. Software is not the issue. Koinly, for example, is a genuinely good engine, which is exactly why we use it and why we're Koinly's #1 Global Accounting Partner. But no app or software can read a 6174 letter, rebuild a cost basis that was never recorded, or file aresponse the IRS will accept. Those calls decide whether the notice goes away or grows. So we handle that part ourselves: we reconstruct the history, establish what you actually owe, and prepare the reply. Then Koinly runs the numbers. If you already have a Koinly portfolio, we can work directly from it.

What our clients say
Margaret
This company took the stress out of dealing with the IRS when it came to my Crypto account. They met over a video call the first day after I contacted them, set up a plan and by the end of a week, I had all the necessary documents to clear up my tax returns. Along the way they sent emails updating me as to the progress.

I tried CountDeFi to navigate the chaotic mess of tracking my crypto transactions, gains, and losses. Initially skeptical, CountDefi came through. I found other crypto calculators lacking in complete blockchain analysis, but CountDeFi effectively traced my complex crypto journey and ultimately systematized order from disorder. Massive weight off my shoulders! The result was well worth the cost.

Scott
Most of the regular CPA's in my area had no knowledge of how to report crypto tax. With the help of Bianca and the team at Count DeFi, we were able to do a deep dive into my entire transaction history from Day 1 and compile accurate tax reports based off of my entire transaction history across all exchanges and wallets.
CountDeFi is top notch with a team of knowledgeable people working together to accomplish the task at hand.
