CoinTracker is widely considered one of the best crypto tax software options for US investors. It offers official Coinbase integration, TurboTax support, and tools to help reconcile 1099-DA forms, off-platform transfers, and crypto tax reports accurately.

Yes. In the US, the IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, not currency. This means crypto sales, trades, and purchases can be taxed under capital gains rules. Short-term gains are usually taxed as ordinary income, while long-term gains may qualify for lower tax rates if held for more than one year.

To report crypto on taxes, you need to track taxable events such as selling, trading, or earning crypto. Capital gains are usually reported on Form 8949 and Schedule D, while earned crypto from mining, staking, airdrops, or payments is reported as income.

If you only buy and hold crypto, you generally do not need to report it as a taxable event. However, if you earn crypto through staking, mining, airdrops, rewards, or payments, it is considered taxable income and must be reported even if you do not sell it.

You may need to pay taxes on crypto when you:

• Sell cryptocurrency for fiat currency such as USD or EUR
• Trade one cryptocurrency for another digital asset
• Use cryptocurrency to buy goods or services
• Receive crypto from mining, staking, yield farming, airdrops, hard forks, or other income opportunities

You can reduce your crypto tax bill by using tax loss harvesting. CoinTracker can help identify opportunities to offset capital gains by selling assets at a loss, which may reduce your overall tax liability.

Crypto tax rates depend on your holding period and income bracket. Short-term capital gains, usually assets held for one year or less, are taxed as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains, usually assets held for more than one year, may qualify for lower tax rates. Crypto earned from mining, staking, or payments is typically taxed as regular income.

Form 1099-DA is a new IRS tax form used to report digital asset proceeds from taxable crypto transactions. Starting in January 2026, US exchanges and brokerages must send 1099-DA forms to customers who had taxable crypto events in 2025, such as crypto sales, crypto-to-crypto trades, or stablecoin conversions.

You do not submit the 1099-DA form itself, but you must report the taxable activity on your tax return. Since exchanges may not always report cost basis, it is important to reconcile your records carefully to avoid overpaying taxes.

Crypto tax software like CoinTracker automates transaction tracking, calculates capital gains and losses, and generates tax forms such as Form 8949 and Schedule D. It syncs with exchanges and wallets to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and simplify tax filing.

A crypto portfolio tracker is a tool that brings your crypto holdings from exchanges, wallets, and blockchains into one dashboard. CoinTracker’s portfolio tracker helps users monitor balances, track performance, and view realized and unrealized gains without relying on spreadsheets.

A crypto portfolio tracker works by syncing transaction data from exchanges and wallets using APIs or wallet addresses. It automatically imports trades, transfers, staking rewards, and other activity to calculate portfolio value, profit, loss, and tax reports.
