Tax year:

Tax year

In the current year 2019, the tax is due for all transactions made in 2018.

A tax year includes all transactions from January 1 (0:00) until December 31 (midnight). This setting is common in most countries.

Alternatively, you can also enter a custom date range.

custom
Select the year for your tax report or enter a custom date range.

Custom tax period:

If the tax period in your country is not from January 1 to December 31, you can set an alternative period here.
To do so, enable the checkbox and enter your start and end date.

Selecting a custom period will only be used in your reports and will not affect the upper overview chart.

Filter

Experienced users can use the filter to exclude specific types, exchanges or groups from the calculation.

Trade Types:
Disable all types you don't want to be calculated.
Click a checkbox 2 times to calculate the appropriate type with a cost basis of 0. (Not recommended)

Exchanges and Groups:
IN represents all inputs and OUT all outputs.

Example:
- If you want to ignore all 'Kraken' purchases, disable only the IN checkbox next to the label 'Kraken'.
- Disable the OUT checkbox to ignore all 'Kraken' sales.
- Disable both checkboxes to ignore all 'Kraken' transactions.

Be careful with the filters as they can distort the calculation.

Previous trades: info

Previous trades

If enabled, all transactions before the selected tax year are calculated according to the selected method. This ensures that the calculation for the selected tax year will start with the correct remaining amount of assets (recommended).

If needed, the start date from which previous transactions are to be taken into account can be adjusted (not recommended).

If you don't want to consider your previous calculations or all your trades are in the period selected above, you can disable the checkbox.

Consider all previous trades in report custom
Disable, to ignore previous trades in the tax calculation (not recommended).

By default, all your previous trades should be taken into account for the calculation.

Group by day: info

Group by day

Enable, to group all purchases by day. This can be helpful if the time zones were not recorded correctly during import and sales are listed a few hours before the purchase (recommended for daytraders in different time zones).
It will also greatly reduce the number of items in your final tax report.

Disable, to calculate all trades according to the chosen method exactly to the second (recommended if all trades and times were set correctly).

Group all purchases by day Use this setting to greatly reduce the number of items in your tax report.

Margin Trades: Margin Trades The correct way to calculate margin trades is to import or add them as profit or loss. Unfortunately, many exchanges do not transmit margin trades as profit/loss but as regular trades instead. This can lead to conflicts with a conventional tax calculation, as with margin trades usually more assets are sold (shorted) that available in an account. If you do not have margin trades, skip this setting. In case your account contains margin trades which have not been entered as profit/loss, you can enable the 'Calculate margin trades' checkbox. Doing this, if there is no suitable purchase pool left for a sale, the system also searches and calculates purchases that have taken place after the sale. Please note that activating the checkbox (especially in the case of incorrectly imported or missing transactions) can lead to tax reports not being calculated according to the selected tax rules because purchases that have taken place after a sale can be used to determine the PnL. If warnings occur despite this option, you have not entered all of your trades correctly.	Calculate margin trades Bypass the regular calculation method to reduce warnings for accounts with margin trades.
Depot separation: Depot separation (tax lots) By default, CoinTracking calculates all purchases and sales across all exchanges and wallets together. By activating the depot separation, all exchanges and wallets are treated as separate depots (tax lots). Before using the depot separation, you must first assign all purchases sent to another exchanges or wallets to their matching deposits. We strongly recommend that you only run tax reports for individual exchanges and wallets when activating the depot separation. To do so, open the 'Filter' menu (below the tax year selector) and deactivate all exchanges except one and then start a tax report. Repeat the process for all exchanges where sales have taken place. At the end you can export and sum up all reports or submit them individually to the tax authorities. The depot separation is currently a beta version and for the time being only possible for the following methods: FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, LOFO, HPFO, LPFO, HAFO & LAFO	Use Depot separation (tax lots) Allocate your transaction first in order to use the depot separation. You can enable the depot separation to consider all movements to exchanges and wallets with their correct cost base.
Fiat Warnings: Show/hide warnings for empty FIAT purchase pools By default, a warning is displayed when assets are purchased in a foreign FIAT currency that does not exist in the account. Example 1: Show warnings (checkbox enabled) Account currency is USD. Selling 1 BTC for 5000 GBP will result in a warning if there are no 5000 GBP in the CoinTracking account to sell. The system will assume a purchase of 1 BTC for 0 USD. This will result in the total value of 1 BTC (at the time of the transaction in USD) being declared as a profit. To remove the warning, the purchase of the 5000 GBP must be entered in CoinTracking before the selling date. Example 2: Hide warnings (checkbox disabled) Account currency is USD. Selling 1 BTC for 5000 GBP will not result in a warning even if there are no 5000 GBP in the CoinTracking account to sell. The system will assume an imaginary transaction of 5000 GBP purchased at the market value immediately before the sale. This will result in exactly the same cost base and proceeds value. The declared profit will be 0 USD. The cost base of the BTC will be declared as 5000 GBP (converted to USD) at the time of the BTC purchase.	Show warnings for empty Fiat purchase pools If disabled, no empty Fiat purchase pool warnings are displayed. Applies only to foreign Fiat sales that are not in your account currency (USD).
Foreign Fiat PnL: Calculate profits and losses for all foreign Fiat currencies By default, gains and losses on foreign currencies are treated in the same way as gains and losses on other currencies. In some cases, however, such as the HMRC UK tax, this is not the case. Foreign currency gains/losses are not relevant here and should therefore be excluded.	Calculate profits and losses for all foreign Fiat currencies If disabled, all profits and losses from foreign Fiat currencies (all Fiats except USD) will be ignored and will not appear in the final report. This is required for HMRC among others.
Conversion: Conversion of coins in your local currency In order to calculate your gain and tax, all your trades that are not in your FIAT currency, must be converted into your FIAT currency at the time of the transaction. We strongly recommend to use the 'Best Prices' setting. Transaction Prices: will convert the 1st part of your trade-pair into FIAT Counterpart Prices: will convert the 2nd part of your trade-pair into FIAT Best Prices (recommended): will convert in this order: 1. Fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP...) 2. Bitcoin (BTC) 3. Altcoins and commodities (ETH, LTC, XAG...) Example 1: Buy 1 BTC for 3000 USD (assuming USD is your FIAT currency) - Transaction Prices: will convert 1 BTC into USD - Counterpart Prices: will use 3000 USD (no convertion here) - Best Prices: will use 3000 USD (no convertion here), since USD has a higher priority than BTC Example 2: Buy 60 ETH for 1 BTC (assuming USD is your FIAT currency) - Transaction Prices: will convert 60 ETH into USD - Counterpart Prices: will convert 1 BTC into USD - Best Prices: will convert 1 BTC into USD, since BTC has a higher priority than ETH	Best Prices Transaction Prices Counterpart Prices This setting decides at which price your coins will be converted into USD.

Calculation methods

Example table with 3 trades:

#	Date	Type	Amount	Price/Unit	Total Cost
A	1 Jan.	Buy	1 BTC	$1000	$1000
B	1 Feb.	Buy	2 BTC	$1200	$2400
C	1 Mar.	Buy	3 BTC	$700	$2100

Results depending on the method:

FIFO - First-In First-Out: A (1 Jan.), B (1. Feb.), C (1. Mar)
LIFO - Last-In First-Out: C (1. Mar), B (1. Feb.), A (1 Jan.)
HIFO - Highest-Cost First-Out: B ($2400), C ($2100), A ($1000)
LOFO - Lowest-Cost First-Out: A ($1000), C ($2100), B ($2400)
HPFO - Highest-Price First-Out: B ($1200), A ($1000), C ($700)
LPFO - Lowest-Price First-Out: C ($700), A ($1000), B ($1200)
HAFO - Highest-Amount First-Out: C (3 BTC), B (2 BTC), A (1 BTC)
LAFO - Lowest-Amount First-Out: A (1 BTC), B (2 BTC), C (3 BTC)
AVCO - Average Cost: The AVCO method determines the value of ending inventory and cost of sales on the basis of average cost of assets available for sale.
OPTI - Optimized Calculation: This method will always provide the lowest profit.
1) All purchases that are long-term (by default > 1 year) are sold first starting with trades with the highest profit.
2) If there are no more long-term purchases available, short-term purchases (by default < 1 year) will be sold, starting with trades with the lowest profit.
ACB - Adjusted Cost Base (Canada only): The ACB method determines the cost of an investment for tax purposes and is required by the Canada Revenue Agency for income tax purposes on Schedule 3.
Detailed ACB description
HMRC - HM Revenue and Customs (beta version): This calculation used in the UK works as follows:
1) Calculaton of acquired assets on the same day (even if the disposal took place before the acquisition)
2) Calculaton of acquired assets within 30 days of selling
3) Calculaton of all remaining assets within an average cost base

Tax calculation: info

Tax calculation

1. If your country has a fixed short-term and long-term tax percentage, you should calculate both the tax and the gain

2. If your country has a variable short-term tax percentage (usually depending on income and/or state) and you know your exact tax rate, you should calculate both as well.

3. In case you don't know your short-term tax percentage, you should only calculate your gain and let a CPA or the tax authorities calculate the tax with your proper tax percentage.
