Free crypto tax resources: guides, checklists and templates

The resources

[Crypto tax country guide (PDF)](/en/resources/crypto-tax-country-guide/), how crypto is taxed around the world, capital gains versus income, holding periods, and the main treatment patterns to check for your country.
[Crypto tax filing checklist (PDF)](/en/resources/crypto-tax-filing-checklist/), a step-by-step list to get from scattered exchange and wallet history to a return you can file.
[Crypto tax spreadsheet template (XLSX)](/en/resources/crypto-tax-spreadsheet-template/), a transaction ledger with the columns a tax report needs, ready to fill in.
[Cost-basis cheat sheet (PDF)](/en/resources/crypto-cost-basis-cheat-sheet/), FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, average cost and specific identification on one page, with what each does to your gain.
[Tax-loss harvesting worksheet (PDF)](/en/resources/crypto-tax-loss-harvesting-guide/), how to turn paper losses into realised ones that offset gains, and the timing traps to avoid.
[NFT and DeFi tax guide (PDF)](/en/resources/crypto-nft-defi-tax-guide/), a quick reference for the events that catch people out across NFTs, swaps, liquidity, lending and yield.

Why they are free

These are the references we reach for ourselves, condensed into something you can print or keep on your desktop. They are free and ungated because they are how most people first meet CryptaTax. When a single year of activity across several exchanges and wallets outgrows a checklist or a spreadsheet, the full report reconciles transfers, rebuilds cost basis and produces figures you can file, picking up where these leave off.

Every resource carries the same rule as the rest of the site: it is general information, not tax advice, and the specifics depend on your country and tax year. Start with the country guide if you are not sure where the rules that apply to you sit, then use the full crypto tax guides for depth.
