If you ever thought that crypto taxes were easy because there are a whole bunch of companies to solve the issue of crypto tax compliance, think again!
I find that no two providers are the same, and go over some common errors that they make in @taxnotes.com today.

Anyone know the year when Delaware amended its code to authorize companies to include blank check stock provisions in their charter? I know it was controversial at the time.

So I gave my class a simple tax problem today (see below) and had them use AI to calculate the tax owed. The answers ranged from $78k to $171k.
Out of 56 students, only 2 of the Outputs came to the same answer, and none of them got the correct answer. Only 2 were within $1,000.

Tech's approach is mind-boggling.
Rather than make a product people want and will willingly pay for, they instead seek to make products so awful that you have to pay for the less-awful version.
