Great. You are welcome.

Ohhhh.... Makes sense! Thanks very much Andreas!

Had not quite been able to work out how to use MULTI prior to your response. After playing around with it a bit, have now realised one needs to change the start date in "Custom Tax Period" to the very first financial year they started recording transactions (fro example 01.01.2020 to 31.12.2024) to then be able to select separate tax methods for FY20, FY21,...FY24 individually)! Brilliant!!!
Otherwise, if a user only selects OPTI or ZERO for a given year (e.g: FY24), that method is applied from your very first trade (FY20) to today.... (FY24). Got ya!

Glad I asked as would have submitted an incorrect tax report...

Thanks a lot Andreas! Much appreciated

Thank you for your great feedback. We appreciate this.

You can select MULTI as tax method and then you can select the different methods within you tax years.

Hi Andreas,

Big thanks to you and team for all the hard work - really appreciate how handy the software is and the fact that it keeps getting better every years, reporting & functionalities wise.

Question about specific identification:

If one starts using one of the specific identification methods in FY24 after using FIFO for a few years, how does the software work out that the coins it is using for a specific identification calculation in FY24 has not already been disposed off via Fifo in one of the previous Financial Years?

Similarly, the following year (FY25), how will the software work out that Fifo was used until FY23, then Opti in FY24 and again Opti in FY25 (to, once again, avoid using in its calculations, a coin that has already been disposed off):
- once more curious as to how the system knows in FY25 that this time Opti was used the previous year, if at all?

Apologies if I'm missing the point and these are all silly questions though...

Could simply be that when selecting one of the specific identification methods, the system applies it from inception and any optimised result that could have been achieved in prior years is either:

- a missed opportunity for the user as they did not use a method that would have led to a better tax outcome
- or maybe the user can opt to re-issue prior year statements using the specific identification from inception and then apply for tax refunds.

Hope the above makes sense

Thanks very much!

This is described here: How to add ICOs/IDOs into CoinTracking? (https://cointracking.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/29000007203?lang=en)
The purchase date is normally when you spend coins/money for the tokens - as a trade.

Question regarding entering token pre-sales in Cointracking. How is the purchase date entered when the tokens will not be available for 10 months (for example...). Is the purchase date when the tokens are available for download...? Or, is the purchase date when the pre-sale payment is actually made? Thanks all!

1) Bybit: just hit "check now". Check the restrictions for Bybit. Use CSV import in addition.
2) TON Chain is on our long list for new chains. If added you find it under "new features" then.

Hi, with the updates to the Bybit i deleted all my Bybit transactions and imported them again but it seems to only have imported the deposits and none of the trades or withdrawals. Has anyone else had this issue?

Also wondering if you are looking at enabling the TON chain?

Vesting is included in this FAQ "How to add ICOs/IDOs into CoinTracking?" https://cointracking.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/29000007203?lang=en

What is the best way to record IDO transactions that have vesting terms.

An example would be you buy $3k USDC worth of a token and the terms are: 12.5% Unlock at Token Generation Event, 3 Month Cliff, 9 Month Linear

Meaning you pay $3k USDC straight away, then you get 12.5% of the tokens on release day, then there is a 3 month wait and then you get the rest of the tokens spread out over the next 9 months(same amount each month)

I'm not sure how to properly put this into Cointracking, as you pay up front the $3k USDC but then when you get sent the tokens they have no buy/trade transaction against them so they are considered being bought for $0 which puts the tax out

We never change tickers itself. Please use the current one GPT3.
