CoinTracker export: what to export, and what the numbers leave out
Getting your CoinTracker export history out takes about thirty seconds. Making it produce a defensible tax number takes more, because every platform loses something on the way — and the parts it loses are the parts your tax authority never sees either. Here is exactly what we read from this export, what routinely breaks, and what a free scan shows you before you pay anything.
Export your CoinTracker export history
- CoinTracker → Settings → Data → Export
- Download the transaction-history CSV
- Drop it into the free scan — we read it directly
Drop the file straight into the free scan — the format is detected automatically, nothing is uploaded to a third party, and unsaved scans delete themselves after seven days.
What happens when you drop it in
The format is fingerprinted from its own column headers, every row becomes a ledger entry with the source row cited beside it, and lots are rebuilt wallet by wallet. Rows we cannot price defensibly are listed as skipped with the reason — never booked at zero and never averaged away.
What breaks on CoinTracker export
These are not hypotheticals: each one is a case our own importer handles or deliberately refuses to guess at.
The template is single-row double-sided — Received and Sent columns on one line — so a buy, a sell and a trade all share a shape. We classify each by which side carries fiat.
Income rows with no fair-market value cannot become a priced acquisition; rather than book them at zero we raise a decision card asking what the coins were worth when they arrived.
Trades with no defensible price stay visible as skipped rows, with the reason attached.
What the reporting leaves out
Whatever your previous tool concluded, the broker forms have not changed — the reconciliation is what decides your number.
Bringing the file here keeps the history and adds the evidence trail behind every figure.
This importer is drafted from CoinTracker export's documented export format and is locked against real exports as customers supply them. Where a row does not match what we expect, the scan says so instead of quietly dropping it.
