Everything CoinTracker can do

CoinTracker is built to do one thing exceptionally well: give you a single, accurate, real-time picture of your entire crypto life and turn it into tax forms you can actually file. It does that by connecting to the places your crypto already lives, reconstructing your full history, and layering performance analytics and tax tooling on top. This page walks through every major feature, grouped by what it helps you do.

Trusted by more than two million users, CoinTracker pairs free, unlimited portfolio tracking with powerful paid tax features so you can start tracking for nothing and add tax reporting when you need it. Here's the full toolkit. (Specific limits and which features are included vary by plan and region; figures reflect CoinTracker as advertised in 2026, so check the official site for current details.)

An all-in-one crypto portfolio & tax platform

At its core, CoinTracker is two products that share one dataset: a portfolio tracker and a crypto tax engine. The tracker shows what you hold and how it's performing across every account; the tax engine takes that same activity and produces compliant reports. Because they're unified, the daily tracking you do quietly keeps you tax-ready, and your tax forms are built from a complete, reconciled history rather than a last-minute scramble.

The walkthrough below, from CoinTracker, demos how portfolio tracking and tax reconciliation come together in the product a useful overview before we go feature by feature.

Watch: a CoinTracker product walkthrough of portfolio tracking and crypto tax reconciliation.

Portfolio tracking

The foundation is comprehensive portfolio tracking. CoinTracker gives you a real-time snapshot of everything you own balances, holdings, and value unified across all your connected accounts into one dashboard. Instead of opening five exchange apps and three wallets to add up what you have, you see a single, accurate total that updates as the market moves.

Crucially, that picture spans more than just coins on exchanges. CoinTracker brings crypto, NFTs, and DeFi assets together in one place, so your dashboard reflects your true position rather than a fragment of it. It tracks your portfolio over time, shows market trends affecting your holdings, and refreshes regularly (with daily portfolio updates across plans) so the numbers you see are current.

Integrations & effortless import

A tracker is only as good as what it can connect to, and this is a CoinTracker strength. It supports 500+ exchanges, wallets, and blockchains, alongside 50,000+ smart contracts and 600+ dapps plus CSV upload for anything else. Whether your activity lives on a major exchange, a hardware wallet, a Layer 2, or a DeFi protocol, there's a path to bring it in.

Connecting is designed to be simple and safe. You link exchanges via read-only API or sign-in, add wallets by their public address, or upload a CSV and CoinTracker pulls your full transaction history automatically. Once connected, accounts keep syncing, so new activity flows in without manual entry. The result is a hands-off import that reconstructs years of history in one place.

Performance analytics

Beyond "what do I own," CoinTracker answers "how am I doing." Its performance analytics deliver real-time calculations of realized and unrealized gains and losses, total portfolio value, and performance over time so you always know how the market is affecting your holdings. You can see returns over different time periods and understand not just your balance, but how you got there.

The analytics also break down your portfolio in ways a single exchange can't. You get a view of your allocation across assets, your cost basis, and performance metrics that put your gains and losses in context. For active investors, this turns raw holdings into genuine insight spotting which positions are driving returns and where tax opportunities (like harvestable losses) might exist.

Tax reports & forms

This is where CoinTracker shines for most people. From your reconciled history, it auto-generates IRS-ready tax forms including Form 8949 and Schedule D so capital gains and losses are calculated and formatted for filing. No more building spreadsheets by hand or guessing at cost basis.

Everything lives in a Tax Report Center, where you can generate IRS and tax forms, sync with tax-filing software, and download CSV reports (including a "download all" for bulk export). CoinTracker produces several supporting reports for a given tax year, such as:

• Capital gains your gains and losses from disposals, the backbone of Form 8949.
• Income report income-generating events like staking, airdrops, mining, and rewards.
• Derivatives / margin report profit and loss from derivative trades within the year.
• Transaction history all transactions for the year in a standardized format for review and your records.

And because tracking is continuous, you get a real-time view of your tax liability year-round no surprises when filing season arrives. (Report availability can vary by country; the IRS forms above are US-specific.)

Cost basis methods

Accurate gains depend on how you account for which units you sold, and CoinTracker supports the standard cost basis methods including FIFO (first in, first out), HIFO (highest in, first out), and specific identification applied consistently across your entire history. On higher tiers you can even change your cost basis method by year, giving you flexibility to optimize within the rules. The software does the heavy lifting of applying your chosen method across thousands of transactions, which is far more reliable than attempting it manually.

For those who want to see the detail, a tax lots breakdown shows the individual lots behind your gains and losses useful for understanding exactly how a figure was derived and for planning disposals.

Tax loss harvesting

One of CoinTracker's most valuable money-saving features is tax loss harvesting. It surfaces opportunities to realize losses that can offset your capital gains (and, within limits, ordinary income) potentially lowering your tax bill. Because CoinTracker sees your whole portfolio and your real cost basis, it can identify which underwater positions are worth harvesting, something that's nearly impossible to do accurately across scattered accounts on your own.

The CoinTracker tutorial below walks through how the tax-loss-harvesting tools work in practice.

Watch: how to use CoinTracker's tax-loss-harvesting tools to reduce your crypto taxes.

Full 1099-DA support

With the IRS standardizing crypto reporting through the new Form 1099-DA, CoinTracker has built support across the form's full lifecycle from ingestion of the forms your brokers issue, through reconciliation against your own complete records, to final filing. This matters because early 1099-DA forms can report gross proceeds without cost basis, which can overstate what you owe. CoinTracker reconciles those broker figures with your tracked history so you file accurate numbers and so your return matches what the IRS already has, reducing the risk of mismatch notices.

Filing & tax-software partners

CoinTracker is built to fit into how you already file. It partners with leading tax software so you can file directly with TurboTax and H&R Block, and it can sync with tax-filing software or export your data as CSV. Prefer to use an accountant? You can hand your generated reports straight to a tax professional. The goal is to make the last mile actually filing as frictionless as the tracking.

DeFi, NFTs & automatic clean-up

Crypto activity is messy, and CoinTracker does a lot of work behind the scenes to keep your data clean. Its engine auto-categorizes DeFi transactions, detects activity like swaps, staking rewards, NFT trades, and margin positions, and automatically removes spam the junk tokens and dust airdrops that would otherwise clutter your portfolio and inflate your transaction count. Automated spam detection is included across plans, so you see only the data that matters.

This automatic handling is a quiet but important feature: it means complex DeFi and NFT activity is reflected correctly without you manually tagging every transaction, and your tax calculations aren't thrown off by spam you never asked for.

Security & privacy

Because CoinTracker connects to your financial accounts, security is foundational. It uses read-only access to your wallets and exchanges meaning it can view your activity but can never move or withdraw your funds. Your data is protected with end-to-end encryption, and accounts are secured with token-based two-factor authentication (2FA).

This model is important to understand: connecting to CoinTracker doesn't give it (or anyone) the ability to touch your crypto. It reads public addresses and read-only API data to build your picture, nothing more. Combined with encryption and 2FA, that keeps both your funds and your sensitive financial data safe.

Mobile & everywhere access

CoinTracker meets you on every device. There's a polished mobile app for both Android and iOS alongside the full-featured web platform, and because they share one account, everything stays in sync. Check your portfolio on your phone in the morning and do detailed tax work on the web later it's one continuous experience.

The mobile experience is built for quick, glanceable insight: your portfolio value, performance, and prices, with conveniences like a home-screen widget and biometric unlock for fast, secure access. Daily portfolio updates keep the numbers current wherever you check them.

Support & service tiers

CoinTracker scales its help to your needs. Support ranges from self-serve resources on the free plan, to standard support on mid tiers, to priority support on higher plans. Higher tiers also get early access to new features.

At the top, the Full Service plan goes further than software alone: it provides a dedicated account manager who works directly with you to manage your account including hands-on help importing transactions, fixing errors, and reconciling accounts ideal for high-net-worth individuals and very active traders. CoinTracker also supports tax professionals who manage crypto taxes for clients.

Free wallet lookup

CoinTracker also offers a free wallet lookup paste a public wallet address and instantly see its balances and transaction activity, much like a friendly blockchain explorer. It's a handy standalone tool, and a natural on-ramp: from a quick lookup you can grow into a fully tracked, tax-ready portfolio.

Features by plan

CoinTracker offers one free plan and several paid tiers, with features and transaction limits scaling up. A simplified view of how key features map to plans:

A separate Full Service tier adds a dedicated account manager and the highest transaction limit. Plans are billed annually, every plan covers prior tax years, and the time of year you buy affects which year's forms you can access. (Exact limits, "plus" variants, and prices can change check the official plans page.)

Reconciliation & data accuracy tools

Pulling in years of activity from dozens of sources inevitably surfaces gaps, and CoinTracker provides tools to get the data right which is what makes the tax numbers trustworthy. It helps you review and reconcile transactions, flags issues like missing cost basis or unmatched transfers, and lets you resolve them before you file. This is the difference between a tracker that just shows balances and one that produces a defensible tax return.

A particularly important piece is how CoinTracker handles transfers between your own accounts. Move crypto from an exchange to your hardware wallet and a naive tracker might count it as a sale; CoinTracker works to match those transfers so they aren't mistaken for taxable disposals, preserving your cost basis as the assets move. The platform's reviewable transaction history and balance checks give you the visibility to confirm everything lines up the foundation for accurate gains, losses, and forms.

Multi-year & prior-year support

Crypto taxes are inherently multi-year, because cost basis carries forward across time. CoinTracker is built for this: a single plan lets you file for prior tax years at no extra cost, so catch-up filers don't face a stacking bill of one fee per year. Your complete history lives in one place, keeping every past and future report consistent.

One practical detail worth knowing: the time of year you purchase affects which tax year's forms you can access buying before your region's extension deadline generally gives you access to the prior year's forms. Plans are annual and auto-renew, with early renewal available when you need a new season's forms ahead of your renewal date. Together, these make CoinTracker as useful for cleaning up several years of back-history as it is for the current season.

Trusted, partnered, and proven

Features matter most when you can rely on them, and CoinTracker's track record is part of the package. It's used by more than two million people and works closely with major players in the space including as an official partner of leading exchanges and tax-software providers to keep integrations deep and filing seamless. That ecosystem of partnerships is itself a feature: it's why connecting your accounts, importing history, and filing with TurboTax or H&R Block tends to "just work."

It's also kept current with the regulatory landscape, building support for changes like the 1099-DA as they arrive rather than after the fact. For a tool you trust with your financial picture, that combination of scale, partnerships, and up-to-date compliance is what turns a list of features into something dependable year after year.

Who CoinTracker's features are built for

The breadth of features means CoinTracker suits very different users. Casual holders get free, unified tracking and a clear portfolio view. Active traders get performance analytics, cost-basis control, and tax loss harvesting. DeFi and NFT users get automatic categorization and spam removal across protocols. And high-volume or high-net-worth investors get priority support and the hands-on Full Service tier.

What ties it together is the same engine underneath: connect once, track everything, and turn it into compliant taxes. Whether you have ten transactions or ten thousand, the features scale to meet you.
