Most crypto investors only think about taxes in April. The ones who build real wealth think about them in May.
Here's the move almost no one talks about: mid-year tax-loss harvesting.
You don't have to wait until December. Right now — May — is one of the best times to audit your portfolio for positions sitting at a loss. You have 7+ months to reallocate before year-end, and markets have already moved significantly since January.
As an EA, I see clients leave tens of thousands on the table every year simply because they didn't review their unrealized losses mid-year.
Here's what to look for right now:
→ Any position worth less than what you paid? That's a harvestable tax loss.
→ Losses offset gains dollar-for-dollar before the IRS gets a cent.
→ No wash sale rule on crypto (for now) — you can sell and immediately rebuy the same coin.
Tax Day just passed. That makes this the single best window to start planning for next April — before most people even think about it.
