Crypto taxes that show their work
- For
- Crypto investors with multi-year histories across many exchanges and wallets, including DeFi users and multi-entity filers, anywhere tax reports are required
- Who are
- Frustrated by missing cost basis, duplicated or omitted records, DeFi and margin trades that get misclassified and inflate gains, and support that is AI-only when the numbers are wrong

- Unlike
-
CoinTracker, which reviewers say misclassifies margin trades, gives generic support replies and gates tax forms behind a $1,999 planKoinly, which still needs significant manual editing for DeFi and puts users behind an AI chatbotCoinLedger, whose reconciliation reviewers call challenging and whose Done For You service is expensive
- We deliver
-
Automatic flagging of missing cost basis and suspect transactions before the user filesA per-transaction audit trail that shows why each gain was calculatedGuaranteed human escalation for calculation issues during tax season
- So that
- Crypto investors can file accurate, defensible tax reports in hours instead of paying accountants thousands of dollars or spending weekends manually editing transactions

The Problem
Crypto investors with years of activity across several exchanges and wallets end up with missing cost basis, duplicates and omissions, and say "I had 5 or 6 exchanges and 3 years to reconcile. It stressed me out to think about it." Even with software, DeFi and margin trades get misclassified and inflate gains, and support is AI-only when the numbers are wrong.
“My records were a mess: poorly integrated, with duplications and omissions.”
Trustpilot Review β“I had 5 or 6 exchanges and 3 years to reconcile. It stressed me out to think about it.”
Trustpilot Review β“Just recently, I found out that I needed to be filing taxes on these transactions. Like most people, I freaked out. I called many different "crypto accountants" who wanted THOUSANDS of dollars to help me file Form 8949 from my past few years.”
G2 Review β“because of the " Missing Cost Basis" that the crypto exchanges does not calculate for the customers.”
Trustpilot Review β“Bitget margin transactions are being classified as loan repayments and generating very large capital gains, while other transactions have missing or zero cost basis, which is also significantly inflating my gains.”
Trustpilot Review β“It has gotten better identifying defi trades but still requires significant manual editing.”
Trustpilot Review β“many transactions for wallets are missing price data, so you have to spend hours finding it yourself.”
Trustpilot Review β“It took a while to become familiar with the program, but even then, I wasn't always sure when corrections were necessary or how to make them.”
Trustpilot Review β“Iβm paying hundreds of dollars to use an app that isnβt working and would take someone a very small amount of time to fix, but instead I canβt get any more work done on my taxes due to them not wanting to provide any support.”
Trustpilot Review β“They have an AI chatbot who has clearly been given the mission of avoiding connecting with a human.”
Trustpilot Review β“CoinTracker is asking me to upgrade to a $1,999 plan to obtain the tax forms, while I still cannot get meaningful help correcting the underlying transactions that those tax forms would be based on.”
Trustpilot Review β“managing three separate sign-ins and paying full price for each is frustrating.”

Value Equation Breakdown
Alex Hormozi's framework for understanding if an idea will be easy to sell. Higher scores = easier sell.
6.4/10
βMaximize these
Connect every wallet and exchange once and get an accurate, audit-ready tax report for any supported country without manual cleanup. Full automation will not be possible for obscure chains and protocols, so some manual review will remain.
Moderate to high. The pain is well validated: the top-ranked pain scored 9.2, and users already pay for tools and expert services. But incumbents rate roughly 4.3-4.9/5, so buyers need proof of accuracy before switching.
βMinimize these
Imports and a first gains calculation take minutes. Reconciling years of messy history may still take hours, and a verified final report takes days to weeks for complex portfolios.
Users must connect API keys or wallet addresses and review flagged items. Switching from an incumbent means re-importing history and trusting a new vendor with their tax filing.
