Their site has gotten better and better every year. They integrate with so many different coins, tokens and NFTs, as well as all of the big exchanges. As long as you verify your transactions that are synced as you go, the tax forms are a piece of cake.

Managing taxes for 12,000 trades would have been impossible without CoinTracker. I advise to pony up the money and get it done.

Frequently asked questions
For most people filing their own return, the deadline is 31 July 2026. A Steuerberater can generally file later. Check the deadline that applies to your return before filing.
For private crypto assets, a disposal after more than one year is generally tax-free. Selling or trading crypto within one year can be taxable. Your facts and the applicable rules matter.
Germany applies a 1,000 EUR annual threshold to gains from private disposal transactions. It is a threshold, not an allowance: if total gains exceed it, the full gain is generally taxable. Review your complete return with a tax professional when needed.
CoinTracker provides an Anlage SO report for private crypto activity. Review the figures and your complete return before filing.
CoinTracker provides a WISO CSV file for German users. Review the exported information and the WISO import requirements before filing.
Yes. Download your tax report, Anlage SO report, WISO CSV, and supporting records, then share them with your Steuerberater for review and filing support.
