If you are someone who has participated in any Web3 related transactions in the past year, then you need to report those transactions to the IRS.

Zenledger is an easy-to-use data aggregator software that gathers all the data from your crypto exchanges and wallet addresses, which you will need when you file your taxes. Once you have entered all your info into Zenledger’s software, it will automatically produce a report that you can then use to file your taxes.

Additionally, Zenledger’s Tax Loss Harvesting Tool provides you with a list of tax-saving opportunities to take advantage of.

With the reports generated from Zenledger, you can either take them to your own Tax Professional, or you can easily integrate the files with TurboTax if you prefer to do your own taxes.

Zenledger is best suited for both individuals and tax professionals looking to report Web3 transactions to the IRS.

Considering Zenledger provides a report of all defi transactions, it doesn’t matter if you prefer to do your own taxes, have your own tax professional, or you are a tax professional, you can use Zenledger to gather all the tax information that’s required to file your crypto tax returns.

Overall, Zenledger is one of the best software you can use to file your Web3-related taxes. If you have traded cryptocurrency for cash (fiat) or another cryptocurrency, or if you have used crypto to purchased goods or services, then you will need to use software such as Zenledger to gather all your transaction data.

If you avoid filing your Web3 transactions to the IRS, you are exposing yourself to potentially hefty fines and other legal ramifications, in the event of an audit.
