FAQ on crypto taxes
Short and clear answers.
How does CoinTaxReporting calculate gains and losses?
We import transactions, map exchanges and wallets, and apply local tax logic (e.g. FIFO). The result is a traceable report.
Which exchanges and wallets are supported?
API and CSV imports for 200+ exchanges, 350+ wallets & blockchains, and 3422+ DeFi integrations. You can also edit transactions manually.
Is the report suitable for tax advisors?
Yes. Reports export as PDF/CSV with an auditable history and clear calculation logic.
How fast do I get my report?
Usually within minutes after import. Very large datasets can take longer.
How is my data secured?
Encrypted storage, minimal retention, and deletion options protect your data.
Does CoinTaxReporting provide a data quality check?
Yes. Three stages: (1) closed, rule-based checks for duplicates, negative balances, price band/outlier, invalid quantities, missing trade events/prices, and unmatched transactions. (2) Optional AI Live Check with your consent; only anonymized transaction fields are sent and the AI flags anomalies with actionable hints. (3) Reconcile calculated ending balances with exchange-reported ending balances to surface gaps quickly.
How current are the tax rules?
We update rules continuously for 40+ countries, including USA, DE, CH, and AT.
Is CoinTaxReporting an alternative to Koinly or CoinTracking?
Yes. CoinTaxReporting is a structured crypto tax software and an alternative to Koinly, CoinTracking, CoinTracker, and CoinLedger. The focus is on traceable tax reports, clean data structure, and clear classification.
See comparisonCan I upgrade later?
Yes. You can upgrade anytime if you need more transactions or additional data sources.
What happens if I exceed my transaction limit?
You will get a notice and can upgrade so all data is fully processed and included in the reports.
Do transfers count as transactions?
Yes, transfers are relevant for matching and cost basis and are processed as events.
Can I cover multiple tax years?
Yes, you can import data across multiple years and export reports per tax year.
Are there discounts or bundles?
If you have multiple years or very high volume, a higher plan usually makes the most sense (less manual work, fewer corrections).
Which report formats do I get?
Typically PDF/CSV exports (depending on country/report type). Samples are available in the sample reports.
Is support included?
Yes, support is included; the scope depends on the plan.
Can I check data quality before buying?
Yes - after import you will immediately see missing data, unmatched transfers, or price gaps.

How does the closed, rule-based check work?
The closed rule-based check evaluates transactions programmatically and validates tax-relevant data for completeness. Complete data is the basis for a correct tax report. Our algorithm runs multiple analyses, detects gaps, and lists the affected transactions individually.
How does AI Live Check work?
AI Live Check is optional and only runs if you agree to data transfer. Only tax-relevant transactions are sent to the AI. No contact data is transmitted; only specific fields, and the TxID is hashed and anonymized. The AI returns a review of inconsistencies in your data.

What counts as a "transaction"?
A transaction is any record that impacts your tax calculation - e.g., trades/swaps, transfers, fees, rewards, airdrops, and other taxable or cost-basis relevant events.
Edge cases we map correctly
Transfers & cost basis
- Detect transfers between your own wallets/exchanges
- Preserve cost basis (no false sales from duplicate bookings)
Fees
- Fees mapped to base/quote assets correctly
- Fees flow consistently into calculations
Derivatives & active trading
- Realized gains/losses processed cleanly
- Complex structures exported without rate chaos
DeFi & rewards
- Rewards/income events structured cleanly
- Wrap/unwrap/LP events mapped when data is available
Data checks & audit trail (AI-readiness)
After import, CoinTaxReporting automatically checks typical problem areas:
- missing prices / price gaps
- duplicate bookings
- unmatched transfers
- unusual balance movements
You see exactly what needs fixing and why - so reports stay traceable for you and your advisor.
Typical tax-relevant crypto events
In many countries, tax events do not only arise when you sell Bitcoin. When you swap, earn, or trade derivatives, gains, losses, or ongoing income can arise.
Typical tax-relevant events include:
- Sale or swap - (crypto -> fiat or crypto -> crypto) - e.g., BTC -> EUR or ETH -> USDT. This often creates a realized gain or loss.
- Using crypto as payment - Paying with crypto can be treated like a disposal.
- Rewards and ongoing income - e.g., staking, lending, liquidity mining, or airdrops. These are often classified as income.
- Derivatives, perps, and futures - Realized gains/losses from futures trading (e.g., Binance Perpetuals) must be mapped cleanly.
- Fees and network fees - Trading fees, withdrawal fees, and gas fees can affect cost basis and taxable gains.
Practice: what you need for a complete tax report
For a correct crypto tax report, all relevant data sources typically need to be captured:
- Spot trades (buys/sells)
- Futures/derivatives (realized PnL)
- Deposits and withdrawals
- Transfers between exchanges and wallets
- Fees (trading fees + network fees)
- Reward events (staking, airdrops, lending)
With multiple exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase, Kraken), gaps appear quickly if wallets or transfers are missing.
Common causes of incorrect gains
Many users see implausible results because:
- Transfers are recognized as “sales” instead of internal movements
- Trades were imported twice (CSV + API)
- Fees were not handled correctly
- Rewards were not classified cleanly
That is why CoinTaxReporting uses data checks, an audit trail, and transparent mapping per transaction.
Next step
Connect your exchanges and wallets, check data quality, then export a tax-advisor-ready report as PDF or CSV.
Mini FAQ
How do you detect transfers between my own wallets?
We use matching logic (time window, amounts, assets, fees) and flag uncertainties.
Why is an audit trail important?
Because every number in the report must be traceable back to the source.
Can I connect multiple exchanges and wallets?
Yes, you can combine multiple data sources.
What happens when prices are missing?
You get a warning and can add or verify the data.
Can I export reports for tax advisors?
Yes, exports are designed to be auditable and structured.
How do you handle fees?
Fees are treated as relevant events and mapped to the transaction correctly.
