Bitcoin.Tax vs Waltio

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.

Waltio tracks cryptocurrency holdings and prepares tax calculations and reports intended to help users comply with local rules. Its portfolio tracker displays wealth in real time, with allocation and performance comparisons. Tax reporting can include capital gains and losses, staking, farming, lending, mining and airdrops. Waltio says it categorizes DeFi transactions automatically, identifies spam tokens and tracks more than 10,000 assets. It lists more than 700 exchange, wallet and blockchain connections, available through read-permission API keys, public wallet addresses or uploaded transaction files. Plans include a free tier and paid options from €39/yr. The iOS app requires iOS 15.0 or later, and the service is also available on the web. Country coverage varies: outside supported localized tax forms, users may receive raw calculations that need a tax adviser to map to a return. Document downloads are not available in the mobile app, so users need a computer to export them.
