What Taxinger does
Taxinger turns the transactions your wallets and exchange accounts already made into one tax year: the figures of your country's form, each one leading back to the transaction it came from.
You connect a public address. Taxinger reads its whole history from the chain, works out what each transaction did (a swap, a loan, a reward, a move between two of your own wallets), values it in your tax currency, applies the law of the country you are taxed in, and gives you the year as the lines your tax office asks for, with a document you can hand over.
The chain is the record
You type in no transactions and tag nothing. Every figure in a year leads back to the transaction or the statement it came from, and you open that trail from the lines of your return and the tables behind them.
Taxinger asks for no keys and no seed phrase, signing in with a wallet moves no funds, and an exchange comes in as the statement you download from it yourself.
What cannot be computed is listed
A figure that cannot be computed is never a zero. A token no market prices, a transfer to somebody we cannot name, a cost we do not know: each is listed with its reason, kept out of the totals, and we tell you how many such items are still waiting on your answer.
The same holds for the data itself. On the networks where that proof runs, your balances are read from the chain and checked against the transactions found for you, and a change no transaction explains is recorded with the moment it happened and listed for you. What that proof covers, and what it does not yet, is on what it does not do yet. See how a year is computed.
Your country's law, as it is written
A country's rules are written from its own statutes, provision by provision, each with its date: an operation is taxed by the law in force on the day it happened, and a year by its own law. Taxinger computes for the countries listed under what Taxinger reads, and every answer a law gives has the provision behind it on that country's page under Country guides.
Where two countries read the same swap differently, one taxing it and another handing the cost on, each is applied as its own law says. See your country's law.
You decide what only you know
Whether a transfer went to a friend, to a shop or to a wallet of your own is yours to say, so Taxinger lists it for your answer and keeps it out of the totals until you give one. Your answer is kept, the year is computed again, and what it changed is on the screen. Every answer can be withdrawn. See questions and corrections.
What you walk away with
A tax year as your form's lines, a document for the tax office in its own language, a spreadsheet of every table behind it, and, where your authority publishes a format for it, the file that authority reads by machine. See the year for your tax office.
