You Do Not Go Backwards in Tax Regulation

Kyle, Cleo, and Bear

March 13, 2025

Crypto traders, listen up – your tax reports might be completely wrong.

In this episode of The Band of Traders, Kyle sits down with Janna Scott, founder of DeFiTax.us, to expose the shocking flaws in crypto tax reporting software and what traders need to know before tax season. Janna, a tax expert with a background in government finance, shares how her research revealed massive inaccuracies across top crypto tax platforms… Some overestimating gains by tens of thousands, others underreporting and setting traders up for audits.

She also dives into how her work with the IRS and SEC helped pause crypto audits in 2023 and why audits are coming back. They discuss the risks of the new 1099-DA reporting requirements, the IRS’s growing focus on crypto enforcement, and how traders can protect themselves from costly mistakes.

If you trade crypto, you cannot afford to miss this episode.

Education is the foundation of successful trading and community/support is the glue that holds it all together. At Band of Traders, our mission is to provide you with educational resources to sharpen your trading skills.

Our thriving Discord community is a great source of inspiration, motivation and camaraderie. We are bringing together traders of all levels for no-nonsense insights into the trading world. We don’t sugarcoat the truth because traders must have the ability to evaluate their trades, strategies and emotional states in order to achieve personal growth. That growth is an integral part of becoming a master trader. We believe that we are stronger together, learn more together, and have better trades together.

Our weekly Round Table episodes are casual conversations about the week’s trading lessons, educational content, strategies, and all things trading. Our rotation of co-hosts keeps the discussions fresh. Plus, once a month, we’ve got a special treat – a Round Table with expert guests to dive deep into a specific topic. These episodes drop on Mondays. On Thursdays we release our in-depth guest interviews and informative miniseries episodes, all with a focus on trading and trader education. We cover a wide range of topics including stocks and options, FOREX, and futures.

Don’t just listen, get involved! Our community members not only share insights, trade ideas, charts and journals, they actively participate in podcast content. Beyond suggesting possible guests, we encourage our listeners to consider recording an episode with us and an expert guest they have questions for. Many of our guests also participate in our Discord discussions, giving traders of all levels opportunities to learn and connect.
