Wondering how our free crypto tax tool works? Let’s answer a few frequently asked questions.
How is cryptocurrency taxed?
In the United States, cryptocurrency is considered a form of property and is subject to capital gains and income tax.
When you dispose of your cryptocurrency, you’ll incur a capital gain or loss depending on how the price of your crypto has changed since you originally received it. Examples of disposals include selling your crypto or trading it for another cryptocurrency.
When you earn cryptocurrency, you’ll recognize income based on the fair market value of your crypto at the time of receipt. Examples of crypto income include mining rewards, staking rewards, and airdrops.
Our free crypto tax tool is designed to help you estimate the tax impact of your cryptocurrency disposals only.
How do you calculate my capital gains?
Our free tool calculates your capital gains through the following formula.
Once you’ve entered your capital gains and losses, we’ll estimate your tax bill using up-to-date federal and state tax rates for long-term and short-term capital gains.
Do fees reduce my tax bill?
Fees directly related to buying cryptocurrency can increase your cost basis (your cost for acquiring your crypto). Fees directly related to selling your crypto can reduce your gross proceeds (what you receive when you dispose of crypto). In either case, fees reduce your total capital gain.
Why is my annual income important?
In the United States, how much tax you pay on cryptocurrency varies depending on your annual income. Generally, the higher your income, the higher your tax liability.
Why is my length of ownership important?
If you dispose of your cryptocurrency after 12 months, you’ll pay the long-term capital gains rate which ranges from 0-20%. If you dispose of your cryptocurrency after less than 12 months, you’ll pay the short-term capital gains rate which ranges from 10-37%.
What is filing status?
Your filing status can impact your tax bill and determine the type of tax forms that you need to fill out. Currently, there are five filing status options you can claim on your tax return: head of household, qualified widow(er), married filing jointly, married filing separately and single.
Why is my location important?
Your state of residence is needed to calculate the impact of any state taxes.
Here are a few strategies that can help you lower your cryptocurrency taxes.
Just started using this. Had some a few issues that I sent a quick chat request to after 1AM in the morning EST, and they responded pretty instantly, including modifying their import process for a given Exchange due to said exchange changing their format and they made a code change in less than 24 hours to fix the issue. Awesome customer service.
I have a feeling many frustrated people will leave Cointracker and use Coinledger this year! 👍
Important read here… Without @CoinLedger, there is NO way I could have figured out all of the transactions across wallets and exchanges. It’s bad enough with help from software, but impossible without it! Because of the complexity with wallets and the Voyager bankruptcy, I used their Expert Review service this year, and it was worth it!
Great company to work with.
Yuri was very professional and helped solve several issues I encountered. He was very patient even when I asked for some clarifications.
Thank you for all your help Yuri, you are excellent at your job.
Would recommend to anyone and everyone stressing over their crypto taxes. Awesome user friedly software with detailed information & instructions for all experience levels
If anybody needs a solid crypto tax software let me know and I’ll refer you. I just finished mine via @CoinLedger.
They did everything they promised they would, great support, great software, etc. Will continue to use for years to come
Coin ledger is the BEST
Crypto tax time has been made so much better with CoinLedger! Their platform is well-designed and easy to learn. Their tech team is responsive, thoughtful and thorough. I also purchased the Professional Review the last 2 years and felt added assurance before I turned in my tax form.
@CoinLedger thanks for adding it all up for me, very eye opening actually doing my crypto taxes correctly for a change 😂
Coinledger made a great progress in their effort to improve integration across different platforms and exchanges . I was recently able to successfully AUTO import my data from Robinhood ( which was a huge issue prior ) . All together I had to put together data from 5 different platforms and it all worked out . Support team was phenomenal . Very helpful , took me from beginning to the end , making sure each issue was resolved . Karel was very helpful and went out of his way to address any issues that needed to be addressed . Great work guys .
Bloody Awesome experience. Almost 600 transactions were taken care of instantly. Charged me only 100 bucks, and I love it.
Dunno what I would do if I had to manually review all of my crypto buys sell stakes and gains for tax season
I used @CoinLedger to automatically generate all of my crypto tax reports for the year.
This is a GREAT COMPANY! Their Software and Tech Support is awesome also. This Crypto Tax stuff is a real Pain but Coin Ledger makes it WAY easier, and their Tech Support actually gets back to you promptly and is extremely helpful.

Outstanding customer service
Outstanding customer service. Ben R has been extremely helpful, and I must say very responsive/timely with assisting me with downloading a couple of issues. The issues we really mine but Ben R took to the time to get me through them, rather than just referring me to the FAQ or Help menu's. The program makes it easy to identify potential issues with no associated cost. This is a welcomed change from the last (ZL) tax software I tried to use.

Great tools, exceptional service
These tools make life a lot easier and, if you need help with anything at all, the customer service is brilliant. The team replies within a day and they're focused on actually helping you (not just "dealing with" your help request). That's a sign of a solid company.

Great Customer Experience
I have used Coinledger the past 2 years. This year I had an issue with a missing cost basis, and Benjamin (Ben R) from their support team, saved me many hours of stress by helping solve my issues efficiently and throughly. He also took time to help answer additional questions I had about past and future tax transactions. I strongly recommend using Coinledger for your tax purposes. Great experience!
Great experience with CoinLedger
Great experience with CoinLedger. I've been in crypto for a couple cycles now, and it's always been a nightmare tracking transactions come tax time. Thankfully I came across CoinLedger - the interface is easy to understand, much of the coin tracking is automated, and there is live customer service/ chat if you have a question. Would give 10 stars if I could; highly recommended.
