Before you file yourself or hand anything to a CPA, the crypto activity has to be reconciled. That is how South Carolina 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.

Your CPA stays your CPA. We do the crypto work, they handle the filing.

Count On Sheep provides Digital Asset Reconciliation for South Carolina residents and their CPAs. Our reconciliation service, Digital Asset Reconciliation (DAR), methodically reconstructs your activity from every exchange and wallet. We deliver a CPA-ready package, including inputs for Form 8949 and Schedule D, that gives your tax preparer the evidence for your federal and South Carolina income tax returns. We provide the documentation; your CPA provides the tax advice.
For South Carolina, the record question is holding periods for long-term positions. Count On Sheep documents transaction dates, quantities, basis support, income inputs, and unresolved records. South Carolina Department of Revenue: Individual Income Tax instructions and the taxpayer's CPA control the state treatment and complete return.
Our entire focus is on building that federal record. We reconcile your full transaction history, establishing the correct cost basis and holding period for every single crypto asset you've sold. This detailed work gives your CPA the reliable foundation they need to prepare both your federal and SC1040 returns.
South Carolina is a popular destination for retirees and people relocating from other states. These new residents often bring with them long-held crypto portfolios or multi-year backlogs of unresolved transactions. Reconstructing the cost basis for assets purchased many years ago or untangling a complex history is a significant challenge.
Count On Sheep specializes in this type of historical reconstruction. As an example, a retiree moving to Charleston may have crypto purchased a decade ago on an exchange that no longer exists. By analyzing blockchain data and historical market prices, we can rebuild necessary records to establish a defensible cost basis. This ensures that long-term gains are calculated correctly. Your CPA handles the application of current state laws using our detailed evidence.
The distinction between short-term and long-term capital gains is a critical component of tax reporting. For assets held more than a year, federal tax rates may differ. South Carolina also considers certain deductions related to long-term gains. Accurately tracking the holding period for every lot of cryptocurrency is therefore essential.
Our DAR process carefully documents the acquisition and disposal date for every transaction. We provide the detailed, per-lot history that helps prove the holding period. This gives your CPA the specific information they need to ensure any applicable long-term gain treatment is considered at both the federal and state levels, based on official instructions.
With burgeoning tech scenes in cities like Greenville and Charleston, more professionals are investing in and receiving digital assets. These portfolios require a modern approach to tax accounting that can keep pace with the complexity of crypto markets, from simple trades to more involved DeFi activities.
Our service is designed for the needs of these tech-savvy investors. We can handle high volumes of transactions and decode complex interactions with decentralized protocols. By delivering a clean, organized report of this activity, we help you and your CPA stay informed about your crypto holdings for tax reporting.
A common error for crypto investors is to rely exclusively on the Form 1099-DA provided by their exchange. These forms often miss vital cost basis information, especially for assets you transferred in from an external wallet. Reporting based on this incomplete data can affect your taxable gains.
Our process avoids this pitfall entirely. We build your tax reports from the ground up using your complete transaction history. We verify and, where necessary, correct the information on your 1099 by tracing every asset to its source to establish its true cost basis. This results in a more accurate Form 8949, reflecting your complete transaction history.
The South Carolina Department of Revenue is the agency that administers the state's tax laws. Your CPA is your trusted, licensed advisor who interprets these laws for your specific situation. Count On Sheep functions as a reconciliation provider to your tax team. We are not a CPA firm and do not file returns or offer tax advice. Our singular mission is to deliver a complete record of your crypto transactions.
By providing this reconciliation service, we support your CPA. They can rely on our workpapers and focus their time on strategic advice, ensuring your overall tax return is accurate. We handle the data, so they can handle the strategy and application of current official instructions.
From the Upstate to the Lowcountry, our crypto tax reconciliation services are available to every resident of South Carolina. We use a secure, fully remote model to work with clients, meaning you can get assistance organizing your crypto records regardless of your location, be it Columbia, Myrtle Beach, or anywhere in between.
This modern approach allows us to focus on bringing clarity and order to complex digital asset portfolios. We provide the documentation and clear reports needed for your crypto tax records, offering transparency for your tax obligations.
South Carolina allows a deduction equal to 44% of net capital gain recognized in the state. In a simplified example, $50,000 of qualifying net capital gain produces a $22,000 deduction, leaving $28,000 before the rest of the South Carolina calculation. The deduction is not 44% of gross proceeds, and it does not automatically apply to every crypto receipt. It begins with the federal net-capital-gain concept and the state rules applied by the return owner.
Count On Sheep separates capital disposals from staking, mining, and other ordinary digital-asset income, then supports the lots carried into Form 8949 and Schedule D inputs. Determining qualifying net capital gain, claiming a deduction, and preparing the South Carolina return belong to the client's CPA or self-filing workflow. Final state-liability calculations and tax advice are outside DAR. The $22,000 example illustrates the statutory percentage only, before residency, other income, deductions, credits, and payments.
South Carolina reduced its top individual income tax rate from 6.2% for 2024 to 6% for 2025. The 2025 schedule applies 0% through $3,560, then 3% less $107 through $17,830, and 6% less $642 above $17,830. Under that formula, $100,000 of South Carolina taxable income produces $5,358 before credits and other adjustments. A worksheet using the prior-year rate can overstate the rate-only result even when every crypto lot is correct.
Preserve the tax year beside each disposal and keep the 2025 ledger tied to the 2025 return package. Count On Sheep supplies the supported gain and income schedules, not a state tax forecast. The taxpayer's CPA combines those figures with the full return, applies the current rate table and any capital-gain deduction, and determines the final liability. The $5,358 calculation explains the published schedule only; it is not the tax on $100,000 of proceeds or a recommendation about selling.
South Carolina's capital-gain deduction uses the federal definition of net capital gain, which depends on net long-term capital gain rather than a blended annual crypto total. A wallet can contain units bought on different dates, so one sale may dispose of both short-term and long-term lots under the taxpayer's supported method. Without acquisition-level records, the CPA cannot reliably trace the federal Schedule D result into the South Carolina deduction workpaper.
DAR follows units across exchanges and self-custody, preserves acquisition and disposal dates, and keeps short-term and long-term Form 8949 inputs distinct. If a transferred lot cannot be supported, Count On Sheep places it on the exception list instead of assigning an invented date or basis. The client's CPA or self-filing workflow determines the federal net capital gain and the South Carolina deduction. Count On Sheep provides the evidence trail but does not prepare or file either return.
Exchanges lose data, wallets get abandoned, chain history fragments. Reconstructing accurate cost basis across years of trading is the largest source of error on a crypto return.
Liquidity pool entries, yield farming, cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, restaking. Each creates taxable moments most consumer software misses or misclassifies.
Many crypto investors discover years of unreported trades after receiving an IRS letter. Back-year reconstruction and voluntary disclosure planning is part of what we deliver.
