Bitcoin.Tax vs Syla

Bitcoin.Tax calculates cryptocurrency capital gains, losses, and income, then produces data and tax forms for filing. Its reports include gains, income, donations, Kraken margin trading, and closing balances with net profit or loss and cost basis. Users can import exchange trade histories, spending, income, mining income, and Kraken margin activity, or use CSV imports. Cost-basis methods include FIFO, LIFO, average costing, specific identification, and optional like-kind treatment. The service lists tax-year support for the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom, or a year beginning January 1. It supports DeFi and NFT activity and lists 23 import sources. Tax outputs include IRS Form 8949 PDF, Schedule D, and formats for TurboTax, TaxACT, H&R Block, Drake, and CCH. Free access covers up to 20 trading transactions. Paid plans are billed once per tax year, beginning with Premium at $59.95, paid once for up to 1,000 transactions. The service says margin trading is not completely supported and may produce incorrect values; its terms also say it does not verify that data is accurate or suitable for tax filing.

Syla is a web-based crypto tax calculator designed by Australian tax professionals. It prepares an ATO Crypto Tax Report PDF for self-lodgment or delivery to a tax agent, while stating that it does not lodge tax returns. Transactions can be imported through API and wallet syncs or by uploading account statements and CSV files. Syla says it supports more than 500 exchange, blockchain, and wallet integrations, including DeFi and NFT activity. The dashboard shows holdings and recent transactions and supports portfolio analysis. AI and fuzzy matching can classify events such as airdrops and chain migrations. The free plan has no time limit and allows imports, edits, and individual transaction tax outcomes, but report downloads require a paid subscription. Paid annual plans are Budget at A$49 a year, Assurance at 129.00 AUD, Tax Saving at 249.00 AUD, and Private Wealth at 399.00 AUD. Account limits range from 200 to 100,000 transactions depending on plan.
