Digital asset gains reconstructed properly, marketplace income reported correctly, and an honest map of the states you have quietly become taxable in.
These come up in nearly every first conversation. Here is our honest answer to each.
Exchange statements disagree with each other, transfers look like disposals, and a wallet reports nothing at all. We reconstruct the position across every platform you actually used, tell you where the record is genuinely incomplete, and document the method so the number can be defended rather than merely asserted.
Inventory in a fulfilment centre, a remote contractor, or simply enough sales into one state can create an obligation nobody told you about. We map where you actually stand, state by state, and tell you which exposures are worth fixing now and which are not.
A generalist will take the platform summary at face value, and that is how understatements happen. We treat the transaction record as the source and the summary as a claim to be checked.
A list you can hand to your partner, your CFO or your spouse without translating it first.
We do not give investment or trading advice, we do not custody assets, we do not recommend exchanges or tokens, and we do not offer opinions on whether something is a good buy. We calculate and report what happened.
What we put in writing
The tax planning fee is 40% of the tax actually saved, billed by ARPP LLC and paid out of money that was otherwise going to the Treasury. If the saving does not happen, there is nothing to pay. Tax return preparation is billed separately by Barr Advanced Tax Solutions under its own fee schedule.
For clients with $500,000 or more of income, we guarantee to identify at least $10,000 in tax reduction beyond what your current CPA, EA or tax attorney has already found. If we do not, Barr Advanced Tax Solutions prepares your individual federal returns at no charge for the next three years — a stated value of up to $22,500. Eligibility conditions apply and are published in full on our Terms & Guarantees page.
We do not use anything we would not want to explain to an examiner. Each position we take rests on the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations, or settled authority — not on an aggressive reading of a grey area and a hope that nobody looks.
Should any planning we put in place come under scrutiny, we stand behind it and defend the position at no cost to you, for as long as that position is open. You are not handed a strategy and then left alone with it.
Free tool · nothing to sign up for
Tick everything that is true of your business. Each one can create a filing obligation in a state you may never have visited.
Your answer will appear here. Nothing is sent to us and nothing is stored.
Nothing you type here leaves your browser. There is no email box, no sign-up and no tracking on this tool — the answer is worked out on your own machine and we never see it. Directional only. Every state sets its own thresholds and they change; the point of this tool is to tell you whether the question is worth asking, not to answer it.
Send us last year's return. Within ten business days we send back one page telling you what we found — and if we find nothing, we will say so plainly. No charge, no obligation, no card.
The four events that create a filing obligation in a state you have never visited, how to check whether any of them has already happened to you, and what to do if one has.
One email, the document attached, and nothing else unless you ask. You can tell us to stop at any time.
Quoted after we see the scale of the transaction record, because a hundred trades and four hundred thousand are not the same job and it is dishonest to pretend otherwise.
Always included: reconciliation across every platform you give us, a written note on the method used, and a plain statement of where the record is incomplete.
Where a prior year needs amending, we quote that separately and tell you first whether it is worth doing.
