Deepak Pareek is a CPA licensed in the United States and India, and works with Kryptos as a tax and accounting consultant. He writes the country guides behind the platform's reporting, covering the US, UK, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Switzerland, Portugal and South Africa among others, plus the explainers that deal with the cases people actually get stuck on: why a 1099-DA rarely matches what you owe, how share pooling and the 30-day rule change loss harvesting in the UK, and what to do when an IRS CP2000 notice arrives. He also fact-checks the tax positions in other writers' work before it publishes.
