It's an hour and a half. Here's a summary from the description:

The most important takeaways are that you have an opportunity, now, to reset cost basis, which may seriously impact your future tax bills, and to protect your previous years reporting, but you HAVE TO take action now.

There are five steps most people should take. You'll need to listen to the whole interview, do a bit more research, and talk to your tax advisor, but here are the basic steps to get you started.

Step 1: Consolidate your assets: the goal is to reduce the number of wallets you have for each asset type to a reasonable number. If tax were your only consideration, then the ideal number is one asset / one wallet. However, given security and other issues, one to one isn't necessarily realistic. Review what you have, consolidate where you can, in the context of what makes sense for you.

Step 2: In the process of consolidation, remove all assets from centralized exchanges. This is to allow "cost basis cleansing". You can move them back later (after January 1, 2025) if you want. The reason to do this is because unless you have only ever used one exchange, kept your assets there, and never moved them elsewhere, after 2025 the exchange will likely report an incorrect cost basis.

Step 3: Simplify, ideally into pure assets. The more fringe things you're doing, like staking, the more challenging from a tax perspective things will be for you moving forward. If you don't really understand the tax implications, you may want to simplify for now. Spend a bit of 2025 learning about tax and then jump back in when you're ready for the recordkeeping necessary to keep your tax situation clean.

Step 4: Download a report showing your tax basis for your assets, correct errors as needed. Write a memo to document any weirdness. Save the file(s) with some reference to 2024 IRS Safeharbor in the name.

Step 5: Use opentimestamps.org to timestamp your correct report and memo, which will provide proof of your personal declaration when the time comes.
