Cheapest Crypto Tax Software in 2026: Prices at 100, 1,000 and 5,000 Transactions

The lowest price for a crypto tax report at 1,000 transactions among the six tools we priced is $59.95, for Bitcoin.Tax's Premium plan. At 100 transactions the lowest is $49, from CoinLedger, TokenTax and ZenLedger. Prices are what each vendor's own pricing page printed on October 24, 2026. Most pages print no tax year, so this page assumes the 2025 return filed in 2026. Awaken counts the current tax year, and CoinTracker's caps read "this year."

Financeradar data: filing a freelancer return, federal plus one state, at the dearest of the eight tax products we compare costs $203 at TurboTax for tax year 2025 (prices verified October 14, 2026). A crypto tax report at 1,000 transactions adds from $59.95 to $199 on top of that.

One report, more than twenty plan names across six vendors, and a price that depends on a transaction count most people have never added up. The report is a separate charge on top of the return you already pay for, so this page prices it at three volumes: 100, 1,000 and 5,000 transactions.

Cost at 100, 1,000 and 5,000 transactions

The table is sorted by the cost at 1,000 transactions, with ties sorted by the cost at 5,000.

Vendor prices were read on October 24, 2026, on the pricing pages linked in the table.

Our arithmetic on printed prices: at 100 transactions, three vendors tie for the cheapest plan that covers the count. At 1,000, Bitcoin.Tax's Premium plan costs $39.05 less than CoinLedger's Investor report. At 5,000, $74.95 is the lowest printed price, and CoinLedger drops out of that comparison because it prints no 5,000 price.

Counts are defined differently

The count decides which plan you buy, and the six vendors do not count the same things. Bitcoin.Tax caps trading transactions and leaves purchases made with fiat unlimited, so its 1,000 is a narrower number than another vendor's 1,000. TokenTax counts taxable events plus deposits and withdrawals. CoinTracker counts only the tax year you file, never counts spam or dust, leaves card and referral rebates out of the count on paid plans, and excludes staking rewards on Prime and above. Base counts staking rewards only after they reach $25 in proceeds a year.

CoinLedger counts the transactions you import, and its help article says it deducts up to $25 worth of staking and interest micro-transactions from the count. ZenLedger prints no definition beside its caps, and Awaken defines only the period, the current tax year.

Vendor by vendor

1. Bitcoin.Tax: the lowest 1,000-transaction price, for trades only

Bitcoin.Tax's Premium plan is the lowest price at 1,000 transactions, billed per tax year. Its cap counts trading transactions, and purchases made with fiat are unlimited, so a year of buying crypto with a bank card does not use the cap. That makes its 1,000 narrower than it looks beside a vendor that counts every deposit. The free plan includes the Form 8949 download for up to 20 trading transactions, which makes it the only free plan in the table with a downloadable Form 8949. The weakness is support: every paid plan gets email support, and the Deluxe plan stops at 10,000 trading transactions, with trader plans above that.

2. CoinLedger: the most plan names, and a help article that disagrees

CoinLedger lets you import, track and view your gains for free, and charges only when you download a report. Each report is a one-time purchase, and reports exist for every year from 2010 through 2025. Hobbyist covers 100 transactions, Investor covers 1,000, and Pro covers up to 3,000 transactions (its card reads "3,000+"). Above 3,000, CoinLedger sells more transactions in the app at tier prices its pricing page does not print, so the 5,000 scenario has no price here.

The help center still prints Hobbyist at $49.99 and an Unlimited tier at $499 for 10,000 or more transactions, neither of which the pricing page repeats. Check the checkout price before you buy.

3. TokenTax: a flat price from 1,000 to 5,000, with transfers counted

TokenTax's Basic plan covers 100 transactions, and its Premium plan covers any count from 101 to 5,000 at one price, so 1,000 and 5,000 transactions cost the same. The count includes transfer data, deposits and withdrawals as well as taxable events, which fills a cap faster for a wallet-heavy investor. The page says some DeFi data may need manual reconciliation. There is no free plan, and the pricing page names no tax software beyond TurboTax Online.

4. ZenLedger: the step from Silver to Gold is the whole decision

ZenLedger's Silver plan covers 100 transactions for a yearly fee, and Gold covers 5,000 at about four times Silver's price. There is no free plan. The page says you can access the report forever, so you can update it or add transactions before you file. The weakness is the step itself: a year of 1,000 transactions costs about twice CoinLedger's one-time Investor report for the same count, and the unlimited option on the top plan adds $600. The export the page names is TurboTax.

5. Awaken Tax: the free plan exports nothing

Awaken's free Minnow plan covers 100 transactions at $0, but it exports no tax reports. The cheapest downloadable report at 100 transactions is therefore Fish, which covers 300 transactions for $99 a year. Awaken says it charges by the transactions in the current tax year, and the page gives no tax year beside the price. The top Dolphin tier costs about twice the 1,000 tier for five times the transactions. Exports are Form 8949, Schedule D, TurboTax and TaxACT.

6. CoinTracker: trader-type headings, cap prices, and yearly renewal

CoinTracker headed its top three cards by trader type, such as "I buy and hold on one exchange," but the plan cards below print the transaction cap, and the cap is what sets the price. Base covers 100 transactions for $59 a year, Prime covers 1,000, and Ultra covers 10,000. Form 8949 and Schedule D come with every past year you have traded, not only the year you file. The free plan gives a tax summary preview and portfolio tracking, with no downloadable forms. Going over your cap moves you up a plan and charges only the difference. The weakness is renewal: your plan renews each year at your current tier, you can move down only at renewal, and you have to switch off auto-renewal in your settings.

Which free plans produce a report

Four of the six vendors have a free tier, and three of those never produce a downloadable report. CoinLedger lets you track and view gains for free but charges before you download. CoinTracker's free plan is a preview with no tax forms, and Awaken's Minnow plan exports nothing. TokenTax and ZenLedger print no free plan at all. Bitcoin.Tax is the exception: its free plan includes the Form 8949 download for up to 20 trading transactions, which covers a small wallet and not a trading year. For free filing software, see our free tax software comparison.

What the filing route adds

Each of the six vendors names TurboTax among its exports or integrations, so the report can feed the return you already file. For the filing products themselves, see TurboTax, TaxACT and H&R Block, or compare them in our TurboTax vs H&R Block page. If you are self-employed, our self-employed tax software ranking covers the filing side.

What the IRS asks you to report

The IRS digital assets page says transactions with digital assets, including cryptocurrency and NFTs, may need to be reported on your tax return, and that federal income tax returns require a Yes or No answer to a question about digital assets, with a version of that question on forms such as Form 1040 and Form 1120. The IRS says to use Form 1099-DA to report digital asset proceeds from broker transactions, and its Form 1099-DA page was last reviewed June 27, 2026. Read the IRS digital assets page and the Form 1099-DA page for the wording. For rates, see our capital gains tax rates page, and for dates, the tax deadlines page.

How we compared

Prices are the plan prices each vendor's own pricing page printed on October 24, 2026. For each volume, we took the cheapest plan that exports a tax report and whose cap covers the count, so the three-volume figures are our arithmetic on printed prices, not totals any vendor prints. Most pages print no tax year beside the price. We read them as the 2025 return filed in 2026, the season CoinLedger still sells reports for. Next season's prices may appear around December or January, so expect this table to change then. Where a help article disagrees with the pricing page, we used the pricing page. The table is sorted by price, not by a verdict. For the broader tax tool list, see our tax software ranking and the tax hub.
