Koinly problems for crypto tax returns in Spain

Problem 1: FIFO doesn't match AEAT requirements

The Spanish AEAT has specific FIFO criteria for cryptocurrencies that Koinly's generic implementation doesn't always follow.

Problem 2: Doesn't generate Models 172 and 173

Since 2023, many investors must file Model 172 (balances at foreign exchanges) and Model 173 (year operations). Koinly doesn't automatically generate these.

Problem 3: No exact IRPF boxes

Koinly shows gains generically without mapping them to specific IRPF boxes.

Problem 4: Customer support only in English

Problem 5: Prices in dollars

The solution: kointax

kointax resolves all these issues as it was designed from scratch for Spain.
