Hi Dominik,

Thanks for implementing these new methods. I noticed an error with the ACB tax reports that should be very simple to fix.

The tax reports show the cumulative gain over multiple years, without subtracting the gain or loss from previous years.

For example, say for DASH I had a capital gain of $1000 in 2017, and $500 in 2018. This means I should get taxed on $1000 of that gain in 2017 and $500 of that gain in 2018. But the current ACB tax reports show a gain of $1000 in 2017 and $1500 in 2018.

It's calculated as if I get get taxed on gains from previous years over and over again.

The solution would be to simply subtract the 2017 gains ($1000) from the total cumulative gains as of 2018 ($1500), and then report the difference as my 2018 gains ($1500-$1000=$500).

Here's a screenshot from CoinTracking to illustrate the problem:

If you need more specific examples I can email you more screenshots from my account.

Thanks,
