Cryptocurrency payment services platform BitPay on Wednesday announced a new partnership with ZenLedger, a crypto tax software company, which will enable its users to easily calculate their tax liabilities by syncing their wallet transactions directly from within the app to ZenLedger's tax software.

According to a press release shared with Benzinga, ZenLedger software will automatically calculate the cost basis, fair market value, gains/losses, and tax-loss harvesting for a user's transaction history.

Additionally, users of the BitPay app can receive a 20% discount on their annual subscription to ZenLedger tax software services.

The subscription also includes free access to ZenLedger's tax-loss harvesting tool, which allows users to sell crypto that experienced a loss and use those losses to reduce their taxable income.
