In short: The $249 assessment tells you whether your TY2025 exchange, wallet, and Form 1099-DA records are complete enough for a defensible reconciliation. It identifies missing records and blocked issues before you pay for a full project.

What's Included

  • A TY2025 source and data-health screen for up to three exchange or wallet sources and 5,000 transaction rows
  • An inventory of the Form 1099-DA, exchange, wallet, and supporting records supplied
  • Import acceptance or rejection results, with row counts where available
  • A blocking-issue and missing-evidence list
  • A written fit decision, records request, and scope and fee for any accepted next step
  • The assessment fee credited toward an accepted full-reconciliation engagement

Timeline: Timing is confirmed after the engagement letter is accepted and all requested records are received.

Not included:

  • A corrected taxable gain, Form 8949, Defense Package, tax-return preparation, filing, or IRS representation
  • Tax years other than 2025 or records above the pilot caps
  • DeFi, NFTs, mining, staking, derivatives, margin activity, liquidations, unsupported lot methods, or materially incomplete histories

First paid step

Find the record problems before calculating the answer

A broker form reports what the broker saw. Your tax result may depend on basis, holding period, fees, and transfers that live across several sources. A reliable reconciliation starts by proving that those sources can be connected without guessing.

The readiness assessment is a controlled screening step. It identifies missing files, rejected files or rows, incomplete transfers, unsupported activity, and ambiguous matches before Arc & Ledger accepts a full reconciliation engagement.

What the broker reported

The Form 1099-DA and any supplemental broker detail are preserved as separate evidence.

What your records can support

Exchange and wallet rows are checked for chronology, completeness, transfers, fees, and basis evidence.

Whether a full reconciliation is safe to accept

You receive a written fit decision, missing-record request, and next-step scope instead of an unsupported estimate.

No documents collected here

Request the assessment

Send only your name and email. We will confirm fit first; records are requested through the secure portal only after engagement acceptance and payment.

Do not send transaction files, tax forms, wallet addresses, account numbers, or tax facts through this public form.

Pilot scope is intentionally narrow

Narrow support is how the first cases stay reviewable and traceable. Unsupported activity is identified, not forced into a calculation.

Screened for the TY2025 pilot

  • Federal tax year 2025
  • Up to 3 centralized-exchange or wallet sources
  • Up to 5,000 transaction rows
  • Ordinary wallet-to-wallet transfers
  • FIFO and documented acquisition or disposition fees
  • Structured Form 1099-DA records

Not accepted in the first pilot

  • DeFi, NFTs, mining, or staking structures
  • Derivatives, margin activity, or liquidations
  • Unsupported lot-selection methods
  • Materially incomplete transaction history
  • Cases that require guessing at missing prices or acquisitions
  • Tax years other than 2025

Records stay behind the engagement boundary

The website collects no transaction details. After fit review, Arc & Ledger sends the engagement letter. Records are requested through the existing private portal only after the letter is accepted and payment is confirmed. The Reconcile & Defend workbench uses a case reference and preserves source hashes for review.

If you already received a notice, use Notice Rescue so the response deadline is screened first.
