Coinbase, PayPal join TaxBit Network for free crypto tax forms
Crypto tax compliance firm TaxBit is working to unite major industry companies like Coinbase and Binance.US within one network to enable free 2021 tax forms for users.

The TaxBit Network at launch includes about 20 major crypto-related businesses in the United States, including firms like PayPal, Binance.US, Coinbase, FTX.US, Gemini, Celsius Network, Blockchain.com, Venmo, Paxos, OkCoin and BlockFi. The network will be adding new companies daily, TaxBit's VP of marketing Michelle O’Connor told Cointelegraph.
