### What Accounting Methods Are Supported?
Accounting methods vary country by country, as described in the [supported countries](supported_countries.md) document.

### Do Accounting Methods Use Universal or Per-Wallet Application?
RP2 engine uses [universal application](https://www.forbes.com/sites/shehanchandrasekera/2020/09/17/what-crypto-taxpayers-need-to-know-about-fifo-lifo-hifo-specific-id/), not per-wallet application: this means there is one queue for each coin across every wallet and exchange and the accounting method is applied to each such queue.

### Can I Change Accounting Method?
Yes, for countries that support more than one accounting method, you can select which one to use via the `-m` command line option.
