The site appears quite general and useful, but most of the infirmation really needed for cryptos is in tax law. Reporting bitcoin for taxes ensures the legality of your bitcoins for the most part unless you obtained them illegaly.
The IRS recently published a guide on how to report taxes on income and gains or losses related to cryptocurrencies, or as they call them, digital currencies. I highly recommend giving it a good read in order to understand how you should be reprting and itemizing for taxes and tax deductions. I do not know how to access the document directly since I accessed it through Coinbase, but for those who have a Coinbase account or have traded on GDAX before, I recommend taking a look at the resources they provide for it. I have also heard of bitcoin.tax being quite useful, albeit I have not used it myself.
I will update this post with a link if I can find one.
