Clarity, in time for 1099-DAs: CoinTracker’s biggest upgrade yet

The arrival of the 1099-DA marks the biggest shift in crypto taxes to date. For the first time, millions of Americans will receive digital asset tax forms, and the IRS will know what you owe. It’s a turning point for the entire industry.

We’ve spent the past year refining every layer of CoinTracker — our infrastructure, accuracy engine, and end-to-end experience — to ensure you’re ready the moment those forms arrive. The result: a faster, smarter, and more intuitive CoinTracker that helps you make sense of it all.

As the underlying infrastructure powering 1099-DA compliance for top exchanges, tax professionals, and DIY software, we connect the entire ecosystem, minimizing your compliance risk and streamlining crypto tax filing from start to finish.

Whether you’re filing crypto taxes for the first time, or reconciling 1099-DAs against years of cost basis across wallets and chains, CoinTracker delivers institutional-grade accuracy with consumer-grade simplicity, giving you clarity, confidence, and control in a year when it matters most.

1099-DA, explained

From January 1st to February 15th 2026, crypto brokers will begin issuing 1099-DA forms to users. It’s the most significant change to crypto tax reporting in a decade, and it’s poised to create confusion for millions.

CoinTracker is the only crypto tax platform designed to support the full 1099-DA lifecycle — from ingestion to reconciliation to final filing. We help generate complete and accurate tax forms in minutes by leveraging your full transaction history to fill in gaps on 1099-DA forms from every exchange.

As forms roll out, accuracy becomes non-negotiable — and CoinTracker is built to keep you on the right side of the IRS.

Here’s how it works:

• Ingest & match: Pull 1099-DA data alongside connected wallets and exchanges.
• Reconcile cost basis: Our upgraded transaction modeling and cost basis engine map broker-reported activity to your underlying trades and transfers.
• Flag discrepancies: Account Health highlights missing, mismatched, or suspicious data before you file.
• Export cleanly: Generate IRS-ready reports and e-file via TurboTax or H&R Block.

In short: CoinTracker takes fragmented 1099-DA data and turns it into a complete, IRS-ready tax picture, before small gaps become expensive mistakes.

What’s new at a glance

Here’s what’s new in CoinTracker this season:

• Built around 1099-DAs: Native support for 1099-DA intake and reconciliation, from ingest to export; an entirely new end-to-end tax filing journey, improved transaction and asset views, smarter EVM wallet detection, and clearer tax-year checklists on web and mobile.
• Embedded CoinTracker: We now power native crypto taxes experiences within exchanges across the industry! Starting this season, you will begin seeing CoinTracker embedded deeper into your favorite brokers, including Coinbase. And behind the scenes, our infrastructure also supports broker-side cost basis and 1099-DA form generation at scale.
• Foundational upgrades: New cost basis infrastructure that can handle millions of transactions per user, plus smarter rules around income, staking, and complex DeFi. Plus support for new chains and exchanges, including Unichain, Monad, and Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM.
