The short answer

Whether a foreign crypto account is reportable on the US account report has been treated differently over time, which means the answer depends on the year — and the asset report is a separate question again. The account report covers foreign financial accounts; the asset report covers specified foreign financial assets, and a crypto holding can fall inside one and not the other.

Do you need this?

  • You hold crypto inside a company and the accounting basis was never decided
  • Mining or validation hardware sits in another country
  • A departure or arrival happened with positions open
  • You hold crypto with a platform outside your country
  • You have moved country while holding crypto

That list is deliberately concrete. If you recognise yourself in it, this page is the right starting point; if you do not, tell us and we will point you elsewhere without charging for it.

Crypto and the FBAR question — priced before we start

The FBAR question on crypto is priced by years and platforms, not by what the holding is worth: each year has to be looked at on the rules as they stood, and each foreign platform or custodian checked against both the account report and the separate asset report. Late years widen it.

What is really being tested

Whether a foreign crypto account is reportable on the US account report has been treated differently over time, which means the answer depends on the year — and the asset report is a separate question again.

The account report covers foreign financial accounts; the asset report covers specified foreign financial assets, and a crypto holding can fall inside one and not the other. Documenting the position taken for each year is part of the file.

This is why we start with a chronology rather than a form. Almost every position in this area is anchored to a date — of arrival, of departure, of a payment, of a transaction — and the evidence that supports it is either created around that date or reconstructed years later at several times the cost.

Thresholds and rates move, and summaries written for last year are not evidence about this one. So each figure in your file is sourced to the issuing authority for the specific year; anything we cannot source, we describe as a mechanism and leave unquantified until it can be confirmed. See also corporate emigration from Canada and hiring an employee in another country.

What we actually file

  • The return positions on characterisation, documented at the time
  • A reconstructed and reconciled transaction history
  • Income computations for staking, yield and airdrop receipts
  • Loss claims supported by contemporaneous evidence of the event
  • Corporate holdings reconciled to the accounting basis adopted

The arithmetic, worked through

It is easier to see with numbers attached.

A deemed disposition on the day residency ends

A portfolio bought for C$385,000 is worth C$550,550 on the departure day. Nothing is sold. Assume half the gain enters income and assume a 43% marginal rate on it.

ItemAmount
Cost of the propertyC$385,000
Value on the departure dayC$550,550
Accrued gain treated as realisedC$165,550
Amount assumed to enter incomeC$82,775
Tax at an assumed 43%C$35,593

C$35,593 becomes payable in a year with no sale and no cash. That is what makes the departure date a planning variable: losses realised before it, an election to defer payment against security, and defensible valuations for anything private all change this number. The shape of that result holds; the size of it depends entirely on your own numbers and dates.

These amounts illustrate the mechanism only. The rates and thresholds are assumptions of the example, not your numbers: each is checked against the issuing authority for your specific tax year before any return is filed.

The four steps

  1. 1We establish what happened and when, because every position here is anchored to a date
  2. 2A written scope and a fixed price, so you know the cost before committing
  3. 3The filings are prepared, cross-checked against each other, and reviewed by name
  4. 4You see the result, approve it, and we file it

Fees for this work

You get a number before you commit, not an estimate that drifts. The scope is written down, the fee is fixed against it, and if the scope changes we re-quote rather than invoice the difference. Comparable engagements and their fixed fees are set out on the pricing pages.

  • A 24-hour helpline, +1 (416) 619-0068, before you commit to anything.
  • 18,000+ clients served across 4 global offices: India, the USA, Canada and the UAE.
  • Nothing is filed until you have read it.

What to do next

One call now is worth more than a filing season of guessing. The fastest start is a short call and three things: what happened, when it happened, and which countries are involved. Everything else we can ask for as it comes up.

Crypto FBAR, in practice

How the engagement runs, phase by phase

  1. Start with a conversation about the facts

    Dates, residence, where the income arose. Fifteen minutes is usually enough to know what applies.

  2. Scope and price, both written down

    You get the scope and the fixed fee together, so there is no question later about what was included.

  3. Prepared by one team, reviewed by a named practitioner

    The same people see both sides of the file, and the reviewer signs their name to it.

  4. Filed, then followed through

    Submission is not the end of the engagement — the queries that arrive afterwards are part of it.

crypto and the FBAR question: How we read this one

The account report covers foreign financial accounts; the asset report covers specified foreign financial assets, and a crypto holding can fall inside one and not the other.

The engagement terms hold no matter what the analysis finds — fee and scope agreed in writing up front, a named reviewer on the output, your approval before the finished work is filed.

Fixed fees around crypto and the FBAR question

Part of what you are paying for is the written position for each year, why a crypto wallet or an exchange account was, or was not, treated as reportable, because that is what answers a later question. Self-custody and custodial holdings are set out separately in the file.

T1135 foreign property filing

$349fixed, before work starts

Covers: The Canadian foreign property statement built on cost amount, in Canadian dollars, across everything the test reaches — including holdings people assume are excluded.

What makes it bigger: Missing acquisition records. The statement is tested on cost, so a holding bought fifteen years ago in another currency has to be reconstructed before it can be reported.

See this fee page

FBAR & Form 8938 disclosure

$449fixed, before work starts

Covers: Both US foreign-asset reports prepared from one account and asset list, with the different contents each of them requires, and reconciled to the return they accompany.

What makes it bigger: Accounts you do not think of as yours. Signature authority over an employer's or a relative's account is inside one report and often outside the other, and finding them takes longer than filing them.

See this fee page

Streamlined catch-up — 3 years + 6 FBARs

$449fixed, before work starts

Covers: The full streamlined submission: the back returns, the account reports for the whole period, and the non-willfulness certification that is the substance of the application.

What makes it bigger: The number of years and the state of the records. The filings are mechanical; reconstructing account histories and building the chronology is what takes the time.

What working with us on crypto and the FBAR question looks like

The reporting penalties get named early

The heaviest exposure on a cross-border file is usually a disclosure form, not the tax. We identify which ones apply before a deadline turns into a penalty.

We say early if it is not our work

If a file needs something this practice does not do, you hear that at the start rather than after a bill.

Filed with the authority, not just prepared

The engagement runs to submission and to the correspondence that follows it, including the queries that arrive months later.

Both sides prepared together

Two returns built against each other by one team, so relief is claimed exactly once and nothing falls between the two systems.

Cross-border tax case studies

Case study 1

Fifteen Per Cent Held Back From a Fee for Services in Canada

A payer must withhold from fees paid to a non-resident for services rendered in Canada, whether or not any tax is ultimately owed. A waiver applied for before the work is invoiced avoids the withholding; after it, the money comes back through a return.

Case study 2

One Employee Working From Another Country

A single remote employee can create payroll registration, withholding and social security obligations in their country, and sometimes a corporate presence too. The review sets out each obligation and the order they have to be registered in.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

A Shareholder Loan Across a Border at No Interest

An interest-free loan between related companies is priced as if it carried interest, and in some cases a deemed benefit follows as well. The file sets a rate against the borrower's own credit profile and documents the terms that support it.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

A Non-Resident Estate Holding US Assets

US situs assets sit inside the US estate tax net regardless of where the owner lived, and the exemption available to a non-resident is not the resident one. The file establishes situs asset by asset before any relief is claimed.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

Paying a Dividend Up to a Foreign Parent

The withholding rate depends on the treaty, on the size of the holding, and on whether the parent is the beneficial owner rather than a conduit. Establishing all three before the payment is what secures the lower rate at source.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

Expanding Abroad — Branch or Subsidiary, Decided on the Numbers

The choice sets the tax on profits, the treatment of early losses, and what it costs to take money home later. The file models all three across the first years rather than deciding on the incorporation cost alone.

Case study 7

One Employee in a State Nobody Had Registered In

A single person working from home can create payroll registration, withholding and sometimes an income tax filing for the company in that state. The review measures activity against each state's own threshold.

Case study 8

Wintering in the US Long Enough to Become a US Filer

Days in the United States accumulate across three years, and enough of them make you a US resident for tax regardless of immigration status. The file counts the days properly and files the statement that keeps the position closer connection rather than residence.

Cross-border tax for sellers shipping worldwide: marketplace withholding, foreign registrations and inventory nexus handled before they become audits.

Marketplaces withhold, remit and report in their own right, so the tax position of a single sale is decided by where the stock sat, where the buyer was and which platform collected — not by where the company is registered. We reconcile the platform's own filings against the returns before either is submitted.

Crypto and the FBAR question — questions we are asked

Crypto and the FBAR question — is this a do-it-yourself job?

Some of it, yes — and we will say so on the call if that is the honest answer. The parts that are worth paying for are the ones where a missed election, a missed deadline or an unverified threshold costs more than the fee: the account report covers foreign financial accounts; the asset report covers specified foreign financial assets, and a crypto holding can fall inside one and not the other.

What if I have already filed and got it wrong?

That is a common starting point. We re-derive the position, identify whether an amendment or a disclosure route is the right vehicle, and tell you which one preserves the relief that is still available. The order matters more than the speed.

How long will it take?

It depends on the documents rather than on us. Once the pack is complete most filings turn around inside a fortnight; anything that needs a certificate from a tax authority runs on that authority's timetable, which we tell you at the start rather than at the end.

Is moving money between my own accounts in two countries taxable?

Moving your own capital between your own accounts is not itself income, so the transfer is not what creates tax. What can create tax or reporting is the income the money earned before it moved, a foreign-exchange gain on certain holdings, and the reporting obligations the balances themselves trigger — foreign account and asset reports keyed to balances rather than income. Remittances out of some countries also need certification before the bank will send them. See foreign account reporting.

What is the penalty for a late T1135 or a missed FBAR?

Both are penalty regimes attached to the form rather than to any tax, which is why people who owed nothing still face them. The Canadian foreign property statement carries a per-month penalty with much larger amounts for a failure that continues or is made knowingly; the US account report is separate again and pivots on whether the failure was wilful. Relief exists — voluntary disclosure, reasonable cause, taxpayer relief — and it narrows once the authority makes contact. The reporting trigger on the US side is an aggregate balance over $10,000 at any point in the year. See late T1135 penalty relief.

Do I need to report a foreign business I own?

Almost certainly, and on more than one form. Canada requires reporting of foreign affiliates on the T1134; the United States has a family of returns keyed to the entity type and your level of control, and several carry penalties that apply whether or not any tax is owed. These are information returns, so the obligation follows the ownership rather than the profit. See T1134.

What time zones do you work across?

Consultations are scheduled to your working day rather than ours, and the portal means the document flow does not depend on overlapping hours at all.

What if I am behind on filings?

That is a routine engagement rather than an unusual one. We map the unfiled years and obligations first, then advise which catch-up route is open before anything is filed — the order matters more than the speed.
