Crypto platforms report transaction data to authorities. Tax authorities compare this with tax returns and inquire.
What is a Tax Authority Crypto Inquiry?
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.
What the Tax Authority Typically Requests
Tax Reports from Crypto Tax Tools
Blockpit or CoinTracking reports are explicitly mentioned. The report should show all taxable transactions.
Wallet Addresses
All wallet addresses where cryptocurrencies were held. These can be compared with blockchain data.
Exchange Exports (CSV)
CSV exports from all exchanges used. These serve to verify the tax report data.
Transaction Histories
Complete listing of all crypto transactions with date, amount, value and counterparty.
Your Tax Report Shows Errors?
If the Blockpit or CoinTracking report shows warnings, the tax authority sees the same notices:
- "Short (Warning)" - Sale without prior purchase
- "Missing History" - Assets without origin
- "Divergent Balance" - Report doesn't match wallet
- Negative Balances - Balances in the negative
Possible consequences of a report with errors:
- 1 Further inquiries and need for explanation
- 2 Estimation by the tax authority
- 3 Late filing penalties for deadline overruns
Incomplete Crypto Accounting Can Lead to Tax Authority Problems
The tax authority reviews the tax report and it's based on the crypto accounting in the tax tool. If there are gaps there, the report shows errors. And the tax authority sees these errors.

"My crypto transactions were entered cleanly, fully and traceably in Blockpit. Saved me a lot of time and effort."
