A supplementary request (Austria), information request (Germany), or IRS CP2000 notice (US) is an official inquiry from the tax authority. You are asked to provide information about your crypto activities.
The background: Tax authorities worldwide have increasingly obtained information about crypto transactions – through the EU's DAC8 reporting duty since 2026, IRS Form 1099-DA in the US, and bilateral data exchange agreements. This data is compared with tax returns and discrepancies trigger inquiries.
Good to Know
Tax authorities often request tax reports from crypto tax tools like Blockpit or CoinTracking in supplementary requests. If the report shows warnings like "Short (Warning)" or "Missing History", the tax authority sees these notices as well.
Blockpit or CoinTracking reports are explicitly mentioned. The report should show all taxable transactions.
All wallet addresses where cryptocurrencies were held. These can be compared with blockchain data.
CSV exports from all exchanges used. These serve to verify the tax report data.
Complete listing of all crypto transactions with date, amount, value and counterparty.
