Highlights
Pros
- Grand Unified Accounting shows every transaction across all connected exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols in a single easy-to-read spreadsheet.
- Features a built-in tax-loss harvesting tool that automatically scans trade history and identifies opportunities to offset capital gains and reduce tax liability.
- Supports 500+ crypto exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols via API or CSV import—one of the widest integrations in the crypto tax software market.
- Seamlessly integrates with TurboTax and TaxAct, enabling users to file their complete return—crypto and non-crypto—in one place.
- Holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications with mandatory MFA, HTTPS/TLS 1.2 encryption, and read-only API access that never exposes private keys.
- Trusted as a preferred crypto tax software provider by the IRS, generating ready-to-file Form 8949, Schedule D, and Schedule 1.
Cons
- The free plan is extremely limited, capping at only 25 transactions with no DeFi, staking, or NFT support—requiring a paid plan for any real utility.
- DeFi, staking, and NFT transaction support is locked behind the Premium plan ($149/year) and above, so basic plan users cannot track these common activities.
- Localized tax forms and country-specific tax reports are only available for US users, limiting its usefulness for international crypto investors.
- Heavy traders need the Executive ($399/year) or Platinum ($999/year) plans for more than 5,000 transactions, making the software relatively expensive for active users.
