Note this applies to USA and the IRS
Talking about record keeping I was sent a letter from IRS they said when I filed for 2018 I left out an account.
I realized I send all my coinbase info as usual and said to myself WTF are they talking about.
I did some checking and found they are looking for my gdax- now pro-coinbase info for 2018
It won't cost me money as my usage of gdax was not trading as much as cheaper fees to convert coinbase btc to cash
My typical thing was
1)move 0.100 btc from coinbase to gdax
2)sell the 0.1000 btc on gdax
3)move the cash to coinbase
4)withdraw the cash to bank account
or
1) move cash from coinbase to gdax
2) buy btc or ltc at gdax
3) send btc or ltc to coinbase
4) buy gear from bitmain with that btc or ltc
They now want all my gdax/pro-coinbase record from 2018 (all older years have zero trades with gdax/pro.coinbase)
2018 mostly was a down year.
I had losses most of the year. So I know sending the info will mean my capital gain(loss in reality) carryover will go from 1800 usd to say 2500
But the paperwork involved appears to be nuts crazy and or wacko. Truing the info involves matching it to my coinbase data filed with irs.
So while I saved fees I think this will take a week to do.
I thought that gdax info was included with my coinbase tax info It is not and it needs to be sent in a new
this seems like a massive headache.
