Tax Return Preparation

From wages and investments to multi-state income and digital assets, every detail is handled with accuracy and discretion. Our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, maximize your opportunities, and free you to focus on life, not paperwork.

Stress-Free Filing, Personalized to You

Tax season doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Chainwise CPA, we prepare your returns with care, combining deep expertise in both traditional and crypto reporting.

Every client’s story is different, but the need for confidence in compliance is universal. Whether you’re an active investor with complex transactions, a family with multi-state ties, or a retiree consolidating assets, we tailor our approach to fit your life.

We also recognize that crypto has changed the tax landscape—so we integrate wallet-by-wallet reconciliation into your return preparation to prevent errors, missed basis, or IRS scrutiny.

How It Works

Our tax return preparation is designed as part of a broader relationship—not a one-off transaction. If your needs extend to year-round tax planning, crypto reconciliation, estate planning, or IRS problem resolution, we’re here for that too.

Initial Assessment

You import (or we help import) your data to our preferred software, we review complexity, flag issues, and give you a fixed-fee quote. Your assessment fee is credited when you proceed.

Reconcile & Optimize

We clean and classify every transaction, fix basis gaps, and produce a defendable, audit-ready dataset—plus an optimization memo.

File & Plan

We finalize reports for your return and map proactive moves for the year ahead; returning clients can opt into monthly/quarterly reconciliation to stay current.
