Serious question, no subtle brag or whatever stupid stuff people say..... I need some help from someone who has found the secret door. Will be completely exiting the crypto market with major taxable situation. I've tried EVERY crazy rabbit hole to find a way to minimize the short term gains I will incur. My CPA says no way to avoid it. I've read, searched, scoured the internet for ideas and I'm stuck. Has anyone had success with this other than just simply not declaring it as income and taking a MAJOR risk of not being audited? I'm not going to take that risk. Help

This is the correct answer.

What exchange did you trade it on?

Well, legal tax reduction..... if possible. I'm hitting a brick wall. Probably because there is not way. I know the uber rich have ways and wondering if the lil guy has a chance if he's willing to spend the money to lawyers to get this done. No one has given any hope. Waiting on a Tax Attorney to respond back to me. Crazy internet people saying you don't have to pay, or people saying to exit the country but you still have to pay the tax before you leave because you made that money here. Peter Schiff said move to Puerto Rico but the same thing applies, first pay your tax here and later pay less taxes.

You can sell assets as a loss to counter your gains

I was told the same thing today unless I close other positions for a loss.

Not a tax expert but a buddy of mine mentioned funding a charitable trust with a one time lump sum contribution that is taxable but pays out over a number of years. Not sure how you can set it up where you are giving it to the 6R12 foundation and then pay yourself a salary to oversee the foundation and it’s charitable acts.

Harvest any capital losses you have to offset gains.

Look into possibly investing the gains in an opportunity zone fund. This will allow you to defer, but not eliminate the tax. Based on the current discussion of increased capital gain rates in the future this May or may not be a good thing.

Otherwise yes you’re on the hook for the taxes.

Pay the capital gains tax and get out. Crypto is going to crash again as we all know it will. Someone just cashed out 12,000 bitcoins.

Just pay the tax and be done with it. Dont act like the windfall from crypto was some lifelong earnings, or a huge risk on a make or break product. It was a get rich scheme, that will now produce about half the value of what you thought you had on paper

Take the win. Pay the tax. Move on

Or hang around until its drops down to where you owe zero taxes again

Look into Charitable Remainder Trust depending on how much we’re talking here.
