Topic: CoinTracking - Profit/Loss Portfolio and Tax Reporting for Digital Currencies - page 67. (Read 122389 times)

I got the impression it was all time. The unlimited membership is pretty much the way to go if you do a lot of trading, and CoinTracking counts any kind of transaction, including sending from one wallet to another, or mining coin, as a "trade." I have a number of POS-type wallets, and those "trades" sure add up fast.

Hi,
I tried to make a search inside the topic but it looks like it's only possible by forum's boards,I'm sure the answer might be somewhere in the topic so I'm sorry about asking.
I have a question regarding airdrops,my MEW is linked with API and after importing tokens are monitored in Cointracking.
But as it's coming from airdrop I edited the entry income as "gift" but when I go in my "Realized and Unrealized gains" the cost of those tokens are not set to zero,and I don't even understand why there is a value here,as it's a gift and a gift is free.
Did I make something wrong?

I cant say with 100% certainty, but I assumed it was for a year.  If you are expected to purchase/renew the software every year i would assume that counter resets.

Question about pricing:

Max transactions on the various plans, including free - does this mean per day? or as in forever? eg. on the Pro plan I hit 3500 total (all time) transactions, now I can't enter more.

thanks

Hey all.

Is there any known way to import Huobi trades?

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for a great software! I've been working very hard consolidating all my trading data into my CT account, and I'm just about done. By next week I should be able to do my taxes.

I'm hoping you can add support for altwallets that run on different explorers than chainz, as well as API support for more exchanges. Other than that, it's awesome.

So I've been playing with these trade groups.  And i can't get it to work.  If i do a test Sell after transferring coins to my wallet from the exchange, and then back to the exchange from my wallet to sell categorizing all of them in the same trade group.  And then run a tax report only filtering on that trade group i get an imbalance and a 0 cost basis.  Saying i don't have a purchase for that sale....

which is the exact problem i had trying to use 2 accounts.  I get it that support is slammed, but it frustrating to try and figure this out with experiments.

So, it's pretty easy to restrict the incoming addresses, but what about "change" addresses?  Yes, I can manually input all outgoing transactions, but that's a big pain.  And, there are sooooo many "change" addresses for the wallet (like 30).  There's got to be a better way.

Formal enhancement request: Let me put in the public key of the wallet and then get all of the transactions for all addresses on that wallet!

Yet another large exchange I want to use (Gemini) not supported.. so glad I paid a premium for this..

Hi all,

I have a minor bug to report (not a huge deal).  When importing coins via "Bulk Import" (either Excel or CSV - I have tried both), the system doesn't
catch duplicate transactions. 

It would be great if it caught them - let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if there is something I can do to make it catch the duplicate entries.
Thanks

How do you guys categorize refunds?

I've been using Miningrigrentals and have them set up as an exchange in cointracking.  When I make a rental I categorize it as spend.  I'm not sure what to categorize a refund/credit.  I've been using gift (because it's not income) but I'm not sure which category is actually correct.

Thanks.

Per support response i got last night

"
thank you for your message.
The linked accounts stay completely separate, there is no recognition of cost basis or purchase pool across them.
Theis can only be achieved if your have both accounts as trading groups in one account.

If you wanted to try and work with two separate account you could only do this by using spent instead of a withdrawal and income instead of a deposits, since they both change the purchase pool / cost basis BUT this would mean everything spent gets calculated with capital gains and every income will appear in your income report, resulting in much higher taxes. So you could use LOST and GIFT instead and exclude those from the gains/tax report, but the water is getting very murky then...



Best regards,

So it looks like i need to research how the trading groups work.  At the end of the day I just want the coins I put in my ledger to have their original cost basis for tax purposes.  But because I'm using FIFO I'm worried i wont be able to achieve this. 

damnit guess i'll setup 3 accounts (trades,mining,both) till we get an answer thanks for checking though  

It appears TOTAL just show P/L and totals of coins help.  Not for tax reports.

CoinTracking is working with Kucoin API ?

I configure the API but nothing is downloaded from Kucoin ?

Someone has the same issue or know how I can fix it ?

Thank you.

anyone got an answer for this its something i want to do as well. is it just a case of doing  your reports under "total"?

@Balkos try doing a report under "total" and let us know if you'd be so kind

Hi Dario,

I've been an Unlimited subscriber for the past year and I love your service.

However, in Canada we’re required to use the Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) method for calculating capital gains. None of the other methods (like FIFO, etc) are allowed.

The calculation is explained in the links below, and I've given the equations at the end of this post.

• How to calculate adjusted cost base (ACB) and capital gains (detailed explanation with examples)
  
• Intuit - how to calculate ACB and capital gains
  
• Wikipedia - Adjusted Cost Base
  
• Example ACB calculator (useful for checking results)
  

I believe Bitcoin.tax implements this method, but they call it “Average Cost”.

However, I don't want to use Bitcoin.tax. I’m heavily invested into CoinTracking and plan to use it for years to come. I’m the person who suggested the alternative dashboard layout, and I’ve reported bugs in the past. I’ve also referred many people.

I think you’ve done a fantastic job, but the one critical thing missing is the ACB method required for Canadians (and I expect some other countries). That was originally why I got an Unlimited account.

As tax season approaches (March-April here), I think you'll see many people joining specifically to do their capital gains calculations. I see people defaulting to Bitcoin.tax for this reason, but when CoinTracking has the ACB method, I’ll be able to refer Canadians to your service -- which is superior in every other way.

Here are the equations for Adjusted Cost Basis (additional details in the first link above):


New Total ACB After a Buy Transaction = [Previous Total ACB] + ([Share Price] x [Number of Shares Purchased]) + [Transaction Costs]

New Total ACB After a Sell Transaction = [Previous Total ACB] – ([ACB per Share] x [Number of Shares Sold])

Capital Gain (or Loss) = ([Share Price] x [Number of Shares Sold]) – [Transaction Costs] – ([ACB per Share] x [Number of Shares Sold])


If you need any help clarifying the ACB calculation, I’m happy to help in any way I can. I'm comfortable with math (engineering background) and have some experience with algorithms (mainly signal processing and computational physics, not finance).

Thanks!

discovered this great tool, so far works mostly fine.

unfortunately binance-import does not work at all. do get a timestamp-error for every transaction. has anyone a clue, what goes wrong?
thanks

I have a mismatch in Cointracking.info between my Realized and Unrealized Gains page and my Dashboard page. For example, the Dashboard page says I own more Ethereum than I have but the Gains page looks correct. I assume there is something wrong in my list of trades.

Thanks. I just want to find the most hassle free way to keep on top of things

What do you think of Cointracker.io? Seems it does API and its free
