HELPFUL THINGS TO KNOW

Tax topics
for business owners.

Learn about business classification, equipment deductions, and planning throughout the year.

Hobby vs. Business

If you're mining crypto or renting AI compute with the intent to profit, you're running a business and you're eligible for deductions. You don't need an LLC to do it. Schedule C on your Form 1040 is all it takes to start capturing those benefits.

Special Depreciation Methods

Rather than spreading equipment costs over multiple years, the IRS tax code allows you to potentially take the full expense in the year of purchase. Michael can review whether these methods apply to your situation.

Year-Round Tax Planning

Tax planning continues throughout the year. We help clients organize their finances and identify deductions they may qualify for.

Lessons from working with business owners since 2016

Lessons from crypto mining and AI rental businesses

After years working with crypto mining and AI rental businesses of every size, from a few thousand dollars invested to several million, clear patterns emerge. Debt, equipment costs, and cash flow often determine whether a business remains viable.

Why businesses fail

  • Excessive debt costs
  • Over-exposure on equipment
  • Valuations based on nothing
  • No formal risk analysis
  • CapEx & OpEx overload
  • Poor forecasting
  • Sunk cost fallacy
  • Emotional attachment

Why businesses succeed

  • Diversification
  • Maintained emergency fund
  • Tax-informed equipment buys
  • Lean CapEx & OpEx
  • Proper market forecasting
  • Knowing when to pivot
  • Logical decision-making

YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Not sure where your situation fits?
That’s a good reason to start a conversation.

Ask Michael
Is CryptoTaxLaw a law firm?

No. CryptoTaxLaw is not a law firm. Michael Moffa is a Florida-licensed attorney. Contact Michael directly to discuss your tax and business needs and the scope of any engagement.

Do I need to run my crypto mining or AI rentals as a business?

No, you do not. If you mine or do AI rentals as a hobby, it is not a business and you're unable to take tax advantages like equipment depreciation or write-offs. But if you're buying equipment with the intention of making money, you're running a business and should be treated as one.

Do I need to incorporate or form an LLC?

No. This is one of the most common misconceptions we encounter. LLCs are an option if your situation warrants one, but you can operate as a business and capture all the tax benefits without incorporation. For tax filing purposes, this is typically handled via Schedule C on your Form 1040.

Do I need to pay a retainer upfront to work with you?

No upfront retainer is required. Start with a consultation to discuss your options, or choose a full engagement for business setup and ongoing work.

Can CryptoTaxLaw just file my taxes, including my business?

Yes. We offer packages for tax return preparation and filing. As a licensed tax attorney, Michael can prepare and file your taxes on your behalf , including all crypto mining income, AI rental revenue, W-2 wages, 1099s, K-1s, and more.

What if my taxes are more complex than just crypto or AI rentals?

We can handle a wide range of situations. Our primary focus is Schedule C businesses with W-2, 1099, and K-1 income. For highly complex returns involving 1031 exchanges or rental property basis calculations, we may refer you to a specialist, but we'll always be upfront about what's within our scope.

Does CryptoTaxLaw handle litigation?

No. We do not currently handle business litigation. We do offer legal services for negotiation, mediation, and dispute resolution. If litigation becomes necessary, we'll make sure you're connected with a firm that handles litigation.

Do you offer retainer services?

Yes. We offer monthly retainer arrangements where we are on standby for you or your business. Please contact us for details and to discuss the right plan for your situation.
