Form 1099-DA reporting details
For broker-effected 2025 digital-asset sales, brokers generally reported gross proceeds on Form 1099-DA; every lot sold in 2025 was noncovered, because covered status requires an acquisition after 2025, so basis reporting for those sales was voluntary. For post-2025 sales, mandatory basis reporting generally applies only to covered assets acquired after 2025 through a qualifying acquisition and retained in broker custody; noncovered basis remains voluntary.

Document process after acceptance
- 01
Start with the contact form
Tell me what is going on and what you need help with. You don't need an account, and there's no commitment. Please don't send Social Security numbers, tax documents, or other sensitive records through the form or by email.
- 02
I review your request
I read each inquiry myself and do my best to reply within a week. Sending the form creates no engagement and promises no call, consultation, or outcome. Any scope, price, availability, and timing are agreed in the accepted engagement letter before work starts.
- 03
If work is offered
The accepted engagement letter identifies how to share documents, the review arrangements, and any required next steps.
Industry context

Individual tax returns start at $350, and business returns vary based on complexity. Any offered scope and price are confirmed only in writing before acceptance; no proposal or engagement is promised.
Do I need to come to your office?
No. Monaco CPA is a fully virtual practice based in Livingston, New Jersey. I am a CPA licensed in New Jersey (#20CC04711400), and you can verify my license with the State Board of Accountancy.
Will I actually work with a CPA, or get passed to a junior?
You work with me directly. I am the sole practitioner, responsible for every engagement, and I review, approve, and sign all client-facing work. If we work together, the written scope names the agreed service, contact, and review process.
What do I need to get started with my tax return?
Use the contact form to describe the return years, forms, notices, and questions you have. If I take on the work, I send written instructions on which records to share and how.
What happens after I submit the contact form?
I read it myself and decide whether I can help, and I do my best to reply within a week. If I can take on the work, the reply sets out next steps.
