With an alarming increase in such incidents, we have dedicated our expertise to assisting those who have suffered financial losses ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. Our goal is to help you understand your rights and options for claiming these losses on your tax returns.

Understanding Your Options for Deduction:

Victims of crypto scams have several avenues to explore when it comes to tax deductions, depending on their specific situation:

1. Casualty, Fraud, Embezzlement, or Ponzi Losses: These are considered under specific conditions and might allow for a significant deduction.

2. Capital Loss Deduction: While the limit for this deduction is typically $3,000, it can be a viable option for some.

3. Business Loss: In certain cases, losses related to crypto scams can be filed under business losses.

Despite the challenges posed by current tax laws, in many instances, you may be eligible to claim a full or nearly full deduction for your losses.

Key Considerations and Steps:

Our approach involves a thorough assessment of your case to determine the best course of action:

• Eligibility for Full Deduction: Assessing whether your situation qualifies for a full loss deduction.

• Qualification Criteria: Understanding the specific requirements needed to qualify for a full deduction.

• Audit Risk Management: Advising on strategies to minimize audit risk and preparing documentation for defense in case of an audit.

• Timing of Deductions: Determining the appropriate tax year for claiming the fraud loss.

• Carryover of Unused Deductions: Exploring options for carrying over any unused deductions when the loss exceeds annual income.
