Bitcoin Tax Software for US Filers (2026)
US taxpayers must report every Bitcoin sale, spend, and swap on Form 8949. Koinly, CoinTracker, CoinLedger, and ZenLedger import exchange and wallet history, compute cost basis, and produce the forms; pricing runs from free (a few transactions) to a few hundred dollars per year. TaxBit now serves enterprises and exchanges rather than individuals. Starting with tax year 2025, brokers issue Form 1099-DA, so your software needs to reconcile against it. Last verified September 2026. Listings are neutral and unranked; not financial advice.

Frequently asked questions
Do I owe tax if I only bought and held Bitcoin?
No. Buying and holding is not taxable. Selling, spending, swapping, or being liquidated on a loan are taxable events. Receiving Bitcoin as income or mining rewards is taxable when received.
What is Form 1099-DA?
A new broker reporting form for digital assets. US exchanges issue it starting with tax year 2025, reporting gross proceeds and, for later years, cost basis. Self-custody transfers are not covered, so your own records still matter.
