KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CryptoTrader.Tax, a Missouri-based cryptocurrency tax software start-up, has announced its integration with popular cryptocurrency exchanges Uphold and HitBTC. CryptoTrader.Tax is the easiest and the most accurate way to calculate trading gains and prepare crypto taxes. With this integration, Uphold and HitBTC users can easily import their trades into the platform and create required tax reports with the click of a button.
The Cryptocurrency Tax Problem:
The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes. This means you are required to report your capital gains and losses from your crypto trades on your taxes. To properly report these transactions, you need to report the original cost basis, the fair market value in USD of the coin at the time of the trade, and the amount of gain or loss you incurred for every cryptocurrency transaction. Exchanges alone cannot supply users with this tax data because of the nature of cryptocurrency. If a user deposits or withdrawals crypto at anytime from an exchange, the exchange loses the ability to provide this type of data. This is a massive problem in the young cryptocurrency industry, and it is why data aggregators like CryptoTrader.Tax are essential for cryptocurrency users.
"We're excited to be adding Uphold and HitBTC to the growing list of exchanges that we support. Simply import your cryptocurrency trades into the platform. The software will automatically crunch your capital gains and losses numbers and generate the necessary tax documents including the IRS form 8949," says David Kemmerer, Co-founder and CEO of CryptoTrader.Tax. "We're on a mission to make the world of cryptocurrency easier for everyday consumers."
