CoinLedgerScore 78Deepest 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".Strength: Named form output — 8/10Watch-out: Three things, and the second is the one that costs money. (1) You buy on "Each tax report is a one-time purchase." (https://coinledger.io/pricing) and you contract on "Unless otherwise set forth on an applicable ordering document incorporating these Terms, the Services are billed in advance on a monthly basis and are non-refundable." plus "You shall retain access to such Paid Services from the time you cancel until the start of the next billing period, but you will not receive a refund or credit for any days remaining in your current billing period." and "Upon termination, CoinLedger reserves the right to delete all of your Content, data, and other information stored on CoinLedger’s servers." (https://coinledger.io/terms-conditions). Nothing in the Terms says a tax year you already paid for stays downloadable; section 3.3 goes further — "CoinLedger may also remove or delete your Content from the Services at any time in its sole discretion.". Export the Audit Trail and EOY Positions CSVs the day you file, because the audit trail "The Audit Trail is meant as a supplemental document for you or your tax professional's records. Once exported, it can't be uploaded or re-imported back into CoinLedger." (2) If you are a US user with a CoinLedger account opened before November 2025, your basis may not have migrated when you were told it had. https://help.coinledger.io/en/articles/10339065-how-can-i-download-a-snapshot-of-my-2025-cost-basis-reallocation-rev-proc-2024-28 (December 31, 2024) says "This reallocation process will happen automatically on Jan 1, 2025, and no further action is required by you to facilitate this process." while https://help.coinledger.io/en/articles/10309974-how-will-coinledger-support-new-per-wallet-cost-basis-tracking-rules-irs-rev-proc-2024-28 (December 18, 2025) says "If you are an existing user that used CoinLedger before 2026, you will need to opt-in to per wallet cost basis tracking to ensure that you are in compliance with the new IRS rules." Both are live on 2026-08-19. A user who read the first and did nothing spent all of tax year 2025 on universal basis, which by CoinLedger's own words "is no longer allowed to be used in the United States after Jan 1, 2025". (3) Non-US buyers should check the method before the form. Canada's own help page tells you to set the method by hand — "Be sure to also select Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) as your Report Calculation Method." — even though the methods page says the country selection governs; Germany is absent from the country-specific list entirely, so a German filer lands on the FIFO default, and https://coinledger.io/de sells "Built For Germany Tax Rules" while producing no German statutory form and using Australian phrasing ("We know that lodging your taxes can be stressful."). Anlage SO appears only in a blog guide as something you file yourself via Elster.TokenTaxScore 66A US Form 8949 factory with a genuine per-account (2025) basis engine and a real TurboTax handoff, wrapped around an accounting firm — but outside the US it emits an unnamed "relevant international report" the filer transcribes by hand, and the open-lot basis that report rests on cannot be exported. UPHELD verbatim: every clause of it was traced to a character-exact quote on a served page loaded 2026-08-19.Strength: Basis method fidelity — 6/10Watch-out: UPHELD, with one item added and one quote re-sourced. That the plan you bought does not produce the thing the marketing page sold, and that the real work costs more. (1) /features advertises "Form 8949, Schedule D" AND "International forms" under "Our software automatically generates every tax form you need to complete your filings—whether you file with us or a different provider, such as TurboTax.", but the help centre states "Includes information that TokenTax does not have access to for crypto-only clients. TokenTax is unable to generate this form unless we are handling your full tax return. Your tax preparer is responsible for your Schedule D." — and no page anywhere names a single international form. (2) Outside the US there is no form at all — every tier promises only an "IRS Form 8949 or relevant international report", and TokenTax's own Sweden guide tells the filer to "Log in to Skatteverket, open form K4 (D). List each disposal’s cost basis, proceeds, and result" by hand. (3) Buying the cheap tier and then importing your full history to establish basis silently burns your cap: "Import the complete historical data needed to establish accurate cost basis. Your plan's transaction allowance still applies; importing historical data does not make the plan's transaction limit unlimited." (4) Surcharges land after purchase and are published only inside the help centre, never on /pricing: "Margin Processing: This service is $399 and includes processing of margins, derivatives, and futures data.", "It is available for purchase for $49 for Basic Plan or Premium Plan holders." for FBAR, and full filing "starting at $999". (5) Even the $3,499 VIP plan is chain-limited — "At the moment, the VIP Plans include support for Layer 1 Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain transactions. Our engineers are continually adding support for new chains, but in the meantime, other chains may require additional fees." — and one-shot: "Additionally, we will only complete your reconciliation one time for each plan purchased. If we complete the services included in your account's plan but you later discover that you omitted some transaction data, we may ask you to purchase an additional plan." (6) None of it is refundable, and there is nothing to try first: "TokenTax does not offer refunds." (https://tokentax.co/terms), expanded in the help centre as "At TokenTax, we have a no refund policy." (https://help.tokentax.co/en/articles/1800908-can-i-get-a-refund, October 25, 2021) — while "At this time, we do not offer free trials, demos, or preview functions." (https://help.tokentax.co/en/articles/5803735-does-tokentax-offer-any-demos-or-trials, January 23, 2024). You buy blind and you cannot unwind it. (7) ADDED — three served pages disagree on who may buy the $999 full-filing add-on: the UI guide says "This service is only available for U.S.-based clients with a VIP Plan or above." and the VIP article says Full-Filing services "are available to purchase, as an add-on to our VIP Plan, or above, only.", but the plan-chooser, timestamped "Updated today", says "Full filing by TokenTax is a separate add-on available to customers who purchase any crypto tax plan; it is not included automatically and is not limited to VIP customers." and /pricing says only "This add-on is only available to customers who purchase a crypto tax plan." A Basic buyer reading the newest page believes a service two older pages gate behind $3,499 is available to them.
