I've been using CoinTracker for years. Having all my wallets in one app saves a lot of time. Another great feature is tax form generation and the option to export my data as needed.

Their site has gotten better and better every year. They integrate with so many different coins, tokens and NFTs, as well as all of the big exchanges. As long as you verify your transactions that are synced as you go, the tax forms are a piece of cake.

Managing taxes for 12,000 trades would have been impossible without CoinTracker. I advise to pony up the money and get it done.

Would have spent painful days sorting through hundreds of crypto transactions without it. Tracks all coin transactions for easy IRS submission.

Absolutely a lifesaver!! For older CryptoCats like myself, it has made a world of difference as far as ease of use. Connecting wallets is a breeze, attention to detail and information is fabulous, and filing taxes is so convenient with CoinTracker. Hats off to the creative people who designed and executed this wonderful website!!

Yes, the IRS enforces capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies by classifying them as property, not currency. This means crypto sales, trades, or purchases are taxed under standard investment tax rules—either as short-term gains (taxed as income) or long-term gains (lower tax rates if held >1 year).
