Janna Scott on Crypto Tax Chaos, Defi Compliance & Why Audit-Readiness Is Your Best Investment | Modern Investing Podcast
Message the Host
In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood (and fast-evolving) areas of finance: crypto tax compliance.
Our guest, Janna Scott, is the founder of Defi Tax, a platform built to solve what multi-billion-dollar crypto tax tools failed to do: deliver audit-ready, regulator-validated tax reports for digital asset investors and businesses.
Her journey from a government insider to a watchdog for crypto investors, exposes a hidden flaw in the system that nearly no one’s talking about.
We explore:
- How she discovered 14+ crypto tax platforms were dangerously inaccurate
- Why CSV-based reporting and API misreads are quietly putting investors at legal risk
- How Defi Tax shut down two waves of IRS audits and what’s coming next
- Why the IRS is gearing up for mass audits and how you can protect yourself
- The importance of showing your work and avoiding accidental fraud
- How Janna’s work with the IRS, SEC, and top universities is shaping a new crypto tax standard
- What every founder, investor, and accountant needs to know before the audits begin
Whether you're trading altcoins, staking NFTs, running an exchange, or just dabbling in Web3, this episode is a must-listen. Janna’s insights could save you from costly mistakes… and possibly an audit.
