What Is Bitcoin.Tax?

Bitcoin.Tax, operated by CoinsTax LLC, is one of the longest-running dedicated crypto tax calculation services in the world, having served traders since 2013. The platform was built with a single mission: to make calculating and filing cryptocurrency capital gains and income tax as simple and accessible as possible, regardless of your trading volume or technical background.

To date, Bitcoin.Tax has already imported over 100 million transactions and calculated approximately 1 billion capital gains results, establishing itself as one of the most battle-tested platforms in the crypto tax space. It supports traders across multiple jurisdictions including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and other countries.

Unlike newer platforms that focus primarily on DeFi or NFT-heavy portfolios, Bitcoin.Tax takes a practical, accountant-friendly approach, supporting all major transaction types from spot trading and mining income to margin trading, donations, and staking, with output formats directly compatible with TurboTax, TaxACT, H&R Block, Drake, and CCH.

Bitcoin.Tax also offers a full tax preparation service in partnership with Gordon Law Group (US) and Metrics Chartered Professional Accounting (Canada), connecting users with experienced crypto tax attorneys and CPAs who can prepare, review, and file their complete tax returns.

Features of Bitcoin.Tax

Capital Gains Report

Bitcoin.Tax generates a comprehensive Capital Gains Report that details every transaction's cost basis, sale proceeds, and gain or loss. All taxable disposal events are captured, including spot trades, crypto-to-crypto exchanges, spending, and gifts. The report can be downloaded as a PDF, exported as a CSV, or imported directly into tax preparation software.

Multiple Cost Basis Methods

Bitcoin.Tax supports FIFO (First In, First Out), LIFO (Last In, First Out), average costing, and specific identification methods for calculating capital gains. For UK users, it applies Share Pooling with same-day and 30-day rules. For Canadian users, it applies the Adjusted Cost Base method with superficial loss rules. The platform also supports optional like-kind treatment (1031 exchange) for eligible US taxpayers.

Income Report

Crypto income events are tracked and reported separately from capital gains. The Income Report covers mined coins, staking rewards, airdrop income, and payments received in cryptocurrency, each with the calculated fair market value at the time of receipt, formatted for reporting as ordinary income on your tax return.

Donation Report

Bitcoin.Tax includes a dedicated Donation Report that records the cost basis of any cryptocurrency donated to charities or given as tips, providing the documentation needed to claim charitable deductions where applicable.

Margin Trading Report

For users who have engaged in margin trading, Bitcoin.Tax generates a Margin Report showing gross profits from margin positions. Margin trading support is currently available for Kraken imports.

Closing Report

The Closing Report summarises your net profit and loss for the tax year and shows your remaining cost basis going forward into the next year, ensuring continuity and accuracy across multiple tax years.

IRS Form 8949 and Schedule D

For US taxpayers, Bitcoin.Tax generates IRS Form 8949 as a downloadable PDF or as an attachable statement ready to include with your federal tax return. It also supports Schedule D import into TurboTax and TaxACT, allowing the capital gains figures to flow directly into your full return without re-entry.

IRS Safe Harbor Tool (Rev. Proc. 2024-28)

Starting January 1, 2025, US taxpayers are required to track cryptocurrency gains and losses on a per-wallet and per-exchange basis rather than on a pooled basis. Bitcoin.Tax has introduced a dedicated Safe Harbor tool to help users comply with this new requirement, allowing you to move lots and cost basis between accounts using either the specific unit allocation or global allocation methods prescribed by the IRS.

Multi-Year Support

Bitcoin.Tax supports calculations across multiple tax years, allowing traders to review and reconcile their full trading history from any prior year. There is no additional charge per year for accessing historical data within your subscription.

Chain Glance Portfolio Tracker

Bitcoin.Tax offers access to Chain Glance, its dedicated multi-chain portfolio tracking tool, which monitors assets across Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, and 50+ additional blockchains. Chain Glance tracks DeFi positions, liquidity pools, staking rewards, and NFT collections, and can export transaction data directly into Bitcoin.Tax via a dedicated importer with no manual spreadsheet formatting required.

Global Fiat Currency Support

Bitcoin.Tax supports global fiat currencies and spot pricing for more than 20,000 trading pairs, enabling accurate valuation of crypto transactions in your local currency at the time of each event. This makes it suitable for traders outside the US who need to report in currencies other than USD.

Full Tax Preparation Service

For users who need more than software, Bitcoin.Tax offers a full tax preparation service in partnership with Gordon Law Group for US filers and Metrics Chartered Professional Accounting for Canadian filers. Services include complete tax return preparation and filing, reconciliation of unmatched transactions, assistance tracing missing records, advice on staking, airdrops, wash sales and margin trading, and FATCA and FBAR reporting for US users with foreign exchange accounts.Tax Professional and Accountant Packages

Bitcoin.Tax provides dedicated packages for CPAs and tax firms, supporting unlimited clients with managed transaction limits up to 100,000 per client and compatibility with professional tax software including Drake and CCH. A single Tax Professional subscription is available from $349 for 12 months, with firm packages available for multi-user teams.
