Title: Bitcoin Mining Operation - Accounting
Post by: kritment on August 09, 2017, 09:33:35 PM
Hi All,
Thanks for the help in advance.
As stated in my couple of previous posts I have invested decent sums of money in mining (50K) planning to invest another 200K. Currently refurbishing an industrial  building to help support this operation.
Since this a cost oriented exercise, I would like to see if I can do this under a LLC.
Can anyone advise a good accountant in US who does this Crypto related accounting for a living? I want someone who has done this before for a mining operations, need good advice and guidance rather than someone to fill up forms.
Let me know

Since you are running this as a business (best way to do it!) along these lines, be aware of the IRS section-179 (http://www.section179.org/section_179_deduction.html) for capital equipment expenditures. Miners fall under the same category as PC's, servers, etc. and can be entirely written off as capital equipment necessary for the company:D

There are some good resources, and a few decent BTC tax lawyers that are a google search away. Keeping meticulous records is the most tedious part.
