Errors and warnings

chain.report, Blockpit or CoinTracking — when which tool?

Last reviewed: August 15, 2026

All three produce crypto tax reports for Germany. Blockpit and CoinTracking are the well-known full suites. chain.report is built for the moment the other tool only still shows warnings: missing prices, balance gaps, misread DeFi. The calculation is only as good as the history.

The facts in brief
All three	Produce crypto tax reports for Germany
Blockpit / CoinTracking	The well-known full-suite tools
chain.report	Closes the gaps when the other tool only warns

When do you stay in the current tool?

When import, inventory and classification already close. Then you do not need a switch. A second tool does not replace a missing wallet.

When is CleanUp the shorter path?

When the warning list is longer than the report. Then the gap is the problem, not the button. chain.report turns the warning into the missing source.

Frequently asked questions

Is chain.report a CoinTracking clone?

No. The difference is CleanUp: close the gaps before the PDF is generated — not another warning list.

Can I keep using CoinTracking or Blockpit exports?

Yes, as one source. The years and wallets that trigger the warning still have to be filled in.

Which tool does the tax office accept?

None automatically. What is accepted is a traceable history. The software is only as reviewable as its data.
