Before you file yourself or hand anything to a CPA, the crypto activity has to be reconciled. That is how Florida investors avoid duplicate disposals, unsupported basis, overstated gains, and preventable tax. Clean records improve accuracy, preserve legitimate deductions and losses, and let you reconcile each 1099-DA against the complete transaction history.

Florida crypto investors in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and surrounding metros throughout the state.
Florida residents from Miami to Tampa to Jacksonville pay no state income tax, but federal crypto tax work is a full-time job for active investors here. Miami's crypto-native founder and fund community runs some of the most complex DeFi, venture-token, and NFT activity in the country. New arrivals often carry multi-year backlogs from CA, NY, or NJ. We pull every wallet, exchange, and DeFi protocol into one ledger and hand off CPA-ready 8949, Schedule D, and Schedule 1 inputs. Count On Sheep is your crypto tax service specialist in Florida. Your CPA stays your CPA. We handle the crypto, they file the federal return.
Applies to every Florida resident, on top of the state layer above.
Reportable on Form 8949, Schedule D, Schedule 1 (or Schedule C for mining as a trade or business). Count On Sheep produces these inputs from your complete on-chain history.
Florida does not impose an individual income tax, but its crypto investors still need a complete federal ledger. The distinctive Florida problem is continuity: many new residents arrive with assets, basis, prior-state returns, and unresolved transactions accumulated before the move.
Selling, exchanging, or spending digital assets can still create federal capital gains and losses. Staking, mining, airdrops, compensation, and business receipts can create income. Florida residency does not erase those federal events or the records required to support them.
Count On Sheep reconciles the digital-asset activity into Form 8949, Schedule D, Schedule 1, and business-income inputs. Your CPA completes the federal return and determines whether any prior-state, entity, or other filing remains necessary.
A taxpayer who bought crypto while living in another state generally carries the same acquisition history into Florida. Moving the asset to a new wallet or broker after relocation also does not create a new purchase price. Missing records from before the move therefore remain a current filing problem.
We trace those lots through old exchange accounts, self-custody wallets, and later deposits. The supported original cost, acquisition date, and subsequent activity become part of the Florida resident’s federal ledger even when the transaction history spans several states.
The former state may evaluate transactions completed while the taxpayer was still a resident or apply its own sourcing rules. A monthly software summary cannot show whether a disposal occurred before or after the documented move date. The ledger needs the actual timestamp and source record.
Count On Sheep supplies the crypto chronology. The taxpayer and CPA supply the independent residency evidence and apply each jurisdiction’s rules. That avoids making unsupported state conclusions from blockchain activity alone.
Assume an investor acquired a token for $50,000 while living in California, moved to Florida, transferred the token into a new broker, and later sold it for $140,000. The new broker may show $140,000 of proceeds and no basis, but the move did not eliminate the supported $50,000 acquisition cost.
Reconciliation connects the original purchase, owned-wallet transfers, move chronology, and final sale. Your CPA determines which state rules apply to the transaction. Our role is to prevent a missing-basis report from overstating the federal gain by $50,000.
Florida portfolios can include decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, token ventures, offshore platforms, and dollar or stablecoin off-ramps. The location of a platform does not make its transactions invisible, and an offshore account can introduce reporting questions beyond the crypto ledger.
We reconcile the transactions and identify accounts or data gaps that need CPA review. FBAR, FATCA, entity, residency, and international-tax decisions remain with the return preparer or attorney. The workpapers make those conversations concrete by showing the actual accounts and flows.
The deliverable includes current Form 8949 inputs, Schedule D totals, digital-asset income schedules, transfer matching, closing positions, broker-report reconciliation, and notes on unresolved prior-year lots. When prior returns supplied opening inventory, we tie the current work back to those records.
That continuity matters after a move because the federal portfolio did not restart at the state line. Your CPA can see which lots originated in earlier years, what was sold after relocation, and which questions require former-state analysis.
Changing a mailing address, exchange profile, or driver license is not the complete legal test for leaving another state. California, New York, and other jurisdictions evaluate broader facts. The crypto ledger should not claim that a gain belongs only to Florida because the broker profile changed before the sale.
We report the exact transaction chronology and the account evidence available. Your CPA or attorney builds the residency position from the complete facts and applies each state’s law. This separation protects the accuracy of both the ledger and the residency file.
Florida residents may receive digital assets from family members, trusts, or estates. The wallet transfer itself does not establish the correct tax basis. Gift basis, inherited basis, acquisition date, valuation, and later sale treatment depend on documents outside the blockchain transaction.
We trace the units after receipt and connect them to the documents supplied. Your CPA determines the correct starting basis and holding period. If the predecessor information is incomplete, the exception remains visible before any later disposal report is finalized.
A Florida company that invoices in dollars and accepts crypto needs the invoice, receipt value, customer payment, wallet deposit, and later disposition to agree. Without that chain, revenue can be duplicated, omitted, or disconnected from the basis used when the asset is sold.
Count On Sheep reconciles the digital-asset flow. The company’s bookkeeper and CPA control accounts receivable, expenses, payroll, entity filings, and other business records. The handoff shows how the wallet activity ties back to the records they maintain.
Miami investors and founders may hold NFTs, token warrants, locked allocations, or venture distributions that do not resemble ordinary exchange trades. Marketplace proceeds, creator royalties, gas, vesting, purchase agreements, and entity records can all affect the eventual reporting analysis.
We connect the on-chain activity to the documents provided and keep uncertain terms visible. Your CPA or attorney interprets the contract, decides character and timing, and determines whether the activity belongs to an individual, business, partnership, trust, or fund.
A transfer from a wallet to an exchange followed by a stablecoin sale and bank withdrawal can create several records for one economic cash-out. If those records are imported without matching, proceeds can be duplicated or the wallet deposit can receive zero basis.
We connect the on-chain transfer, exchange conversion, fees, and withdrawal. The business or taxpayer retains bank statements and source-of-funds documentation. The CPA receives a crypto ledger that explains how the dollars reached the account without counting the same value twice.
Many new residents move long-held assets into new custody after arriving. A closing inventory records the remaining quantity, acquisition date, supported basis, and current location without pretending that the custody change was a new purchase.
That inventory becomes the next year’s opening file and supports later Form 8949 reporting. It also tells the CPA which lots originated before the move and which unresolved records still need attention before a large disposition.

Florida does not impose an individual income tax. Federal tax and reporting still apply, and a former state may have questions for transactions completed around a move or under its own sourcing rules.
No. A move does not create a new purchase price or acquisition date. The supported history from the original acquisition follows the asset through owned-wallet transfers and into later federal reporting.
Provide exchange and wallet records from before and after the move, prior federal and former-state returns, opening lot inventories, Forms 1099-DA, the move date, and records for DeFi, NFT, staking, or business activity.
No. We document the transaction date, proceeds, basis, and lot history. Your CPA or attorney applies each state’s residency and sourcing rules using evidence outside the crypto ledger.
