How It Works

File Crypto Taxes in 3 Simple Steps

Import your transactions, let CoinLedger calculate everything, then download your reports.

1

Import All US Activity

Connect every exchange and wallet. Missing sources = incomplete Form 8949 and potential IRS issues.

2

Set Tax Method

FIFO is the default (IRS-implied standard). Change to HIFO if you want to minimize gains legally.

3

Resolve All Flagged Items

Unresolved transactions cause errors in Form 8949. Work through the review queue before generating.

4

Generate and Download

Purchase plan, select "United States" and the correct tax year, and download Form 8949 PDF + TurboTax export.

5

File or Share

Import to TurboTax, or give the PDF to your CPA. Keep the detailed CSV for your records in case of audit.

"Didn\'t know crypto had to be reported until this year. CoinLedger made it approachable. The Form 8949 was already filled in — I just had to review and import to TurboTax."
