Okay. So in that case I suggest to use a separate transaction type which you do not use somewhere else e.g. minting. And then set this income transaction type slider to middle state (there are some of them which are all listed on the income report just with a different transaction type).

Gotcha, that is what I've been doing in the meantime.
I just thought there is an "official" way to do it, so to speak.^^
At the moment I'm using "Other Income" and set that to a zero cost basis.

The problem with the other income types (as you've mentioned) is that they add additional transactions or make further changes that are not desired.
E.g. when choosing "Minting" or "Masternode" and setting that to 0 cost basis, then it also sets the proceeds to 0.
When choosing "Derivatives" or "Margin Profit", then in addition to adding the gift-sale with 0-cost (which is the desired outcome) it also adds the gift-transaction itself as another sale with 0-cost and 0-proceeds.
That would be fine as well, as they come out as a zero gain/loss, but I don't like having them listed on the tax report when there was no actual additional sale.

It seems the only way to have a 0 cost basis gift-sale be added correctly is by adding it as "Other Income" and setting that transaction-type to 0 cost basis.
Which works fine at the moment, but if I ever have "Other Income" that shouldn't be calculated at 0-cost, then I can't properly record that without influencing the 0-cost gift-sales.

Another (though less problematic) thing is that the filter of the tax generation screen doesn't seem to save the filter settings, so one always has to remember to set "Other Income" to 0 cost basis.
Because of that and the other problems, it would be super helpful if there was a way to mark individual transactions with a 0 cost basis.
Or alternatively to let us set the group-sliders to 0 cost basis as well.
Maybe for a future update? Grin
