WHY RECORDS MATTER NOW
Under the IRS Form 1099-DA instructions, brokers report cost basis only for "covered" units: generally ones acquired after 2025 in the same custodial broker account and held there until sold. Units acquired earlier or transferred in from another wallet can show proceeds with a blank basis. The IRS says you must report all digital asset gains and losses whether or not you receive a Form 1099-DA. This kit helps you keep the records to fill those gaps.
