Built by traders. For traders.
Discover how BlackLine Tax Group was founded to solve the real tax challenges traders face.
Built by traders, for traders
Taylor Gartica & Nolan Knight founded BlackLine Tax Group to solve a real problem: traders deserve tax filing software designed by people who actually trade. Most tax services treat traders like everyone else. We don't. We understand wash sales, Section 1256 contracts, day trading losses, and the complexity of multiple accounts because we've lived it. Our mission is to make tax filing less painful and more accurate for the trading community.
Traders and CPAs Building Your Solution
BlackLine Tax Group is built by people who understand trading taxes from the inside. We combine real trading experience with CPA expertise to solve the tax challenges traders actually face.
