Crypto taxes: software & guides

Which crypto tax tool is worth paying for, and how your crypto is actually taxed — in plain English.

Crypto tax confuses people because the rules aren't obvious: in the US you owe tax when you sell, swap, spend or earn crypto — but not for simply buying and holding it. These guides explain exactly what's taxable and at what rate, and our reviews pick the software that turns a year of messy trades into a finished return. US-focused, plain-English, no jargon.
