How this ranking works
Everything the table draws on continues here: how firm the #1 is, the per-criterion arithmetic behind each score, who pays ChainChoice, and the full guide to choosing.
Direct answer
What is the best tax software in 2026?
Koinly ranks #1 overall for tax software on ChainChoice. Broad mainstream crypto tax software with strong exchange and wallet coverage. It holds that rank under an affiliate-blind methodology scored across 4 published, weighted criteria — the code that ranks providers physically cannot read affiliate payouts (CI-enforced), so a payout can't move a rank. The verdict re-computes on every fee change, incident, or regulatory action; full reasoning and the audit receipt are below.

Each bar is the score on that criterion’s own 0–10 scale, never rescaled to the pool. The dark line is the best any product here reached on that axis. Wt is the most the criterion can add to the 86-point weighted total. Pts is weight × score × 32; the sum is the methodology score, and each weighted point behind the leader costs 2.6 on the displayed score. how these are weighted

Wallets, exchanges, and onchain activity actually in your history
Jurisdiction fit
Tax-country support, filing posture, and local reporting alignment
Complexity level
Simple exchange history, mixed wallets, or deeper DeFi and NFT activity
Reconciliation burden
How much manual cleanup, labeling, and error resolution you can tolerate
Considered and not ranked
6 products we looked at and left out
A shortlist is only honest if it says who it turned away. Each of these was assessed against the same published criteria as the ranked table and excluded for a stated reason — not overlooked.
We assessed 10 products here and rank 4 — 40% of what we looked at. That share is of the products we assessed, not of the category: how many exist is not something we can count, so we do not claim a number for it.

Koinly
Names ten statutory forms across ten jurisdictions and ships Sweden's K4 in Skatteverket SRU upload format, but has no German form on any served page, supports only one of Rev. Proc. 2024-28's two allocation methods by its own admission, charges a per-country add-on to file in two places, and puts its 10-year report-access promise in the help centre while the contract reserves the right to delete inactive accounts with no refund.

An Austrian crypto-tax engine that actually names the form: prefilled E1/E1kv completion aids carrying KZ 172/174/176, Anlage SO for the open 2025 German year, and a prefilled Form 8949 with a 1099-DA reconciliation page — all delivered as PDF, with per-lot basis that stays inside the PDF and never reaches the CSV.

Divly
The European filing specialist: one served table naming K4/SRU, Anlage SO, SA108, 2086, PIT-38 and Modelo D-100 across fourteen jurisdictions, a Skatteverket-native SRU upload, a per-disposal 'applied_rule_for_disposal' column proving s.104 same-day/30-day matching ran, and an in-app tax-year selector that defaults to 2025 as the CURRENT year - undercut by a EUR 39 headline that buys only 100 transactions, a delivered ledger that never states the acquisition date of the lot it matched, no closing-position output in any jurisdiction, and a 2021 Terms document that never mentions the 'lifetime access ... forever' its help centre promises.

Strongest on which country's actual tax form comes out at the end — named, and for the year i am filing? (9/10): Divly names statutory forms for FOURTEEN jurisdictions on one served, dated page, and for several ships the entry codes a filer actually types. Weakest on can my accountant take this without redoing it — and if i stop paying, does my per-lot basis still leave with me? (7/10): WHAT LEAVES - a real per-transaction ledger with the matched RULE, shipping inside the same purchase that produced the report rather than above it. Published price: Read from https://divly.com/en/pricing on 2026-08-19 (HTTP 200, direct fetch, no 403). The page shows ONE price column at a time and swaps them with a transaction-bracket selector, so the full table is taken from the page's own inline script.

CoinLedger
Deepest US filing stack in the pool — per-wallet Form 8949 for TY2025, Schedule D, Schedule 1, a 1099-DA reconciliation dashboard and a named Rev. Proc. 2024-28 migration — but the non-US half is thinner than the marketing implies, and the Terms describe a monthly subscription that reserves deletion, contradicting the pricing page's "one-time purchase".
A stronger fit when the main job is getting reporting done clearly without overcomplicating the software decision.
Best for: Users who want a straightforward tax-reporting path with less workflow overhead.
