....
It appears TOTAL just show P/L and totals of coins help. Not for tax reports.
damnit guess i'll setup 3 accounts (trades,mining,both) till we get an answer thanks for checking though

Per support response i got last night
"
thank you for your message.
The linked accounts stay completely separate, there is no recognition of cost basis or purchase pool across them.
Theis can only be achieved if your have both accounts as trading groups in one account.
If you wanted to try and work with two separate account you could only do this by using spent instead of a withdrawal and income instead of a deposits, since they both change the purchase pool / cost basis BUT this would mean everything spent gets calculated with capital gains and every income will appear in your income report, resulting in much higher taxes. So you could use LOST and GIFT instead and exclude those from the gains/tax report, but the water is getting very murky then...

So it looks like i need to research how the trading groups work. At the end of the day I just want the coins I put in my ledger to have their original cost basis for tax purposes. But because I'm using FIFO I'm worried i wont be able to achieve this.
So I've been playing with these trade groups. And i can't get it to work. If i do a test Sell after transferring coins to my wallet from the exchange, and then back to the exchange from my wallet to sell categorizing all of them in the same trade group. And then run a tax report only filtering on that trade group i get an imbalance and a 0 cost basis. Saying i don't have a purchase for that sale....
which is the exact problem i had trying to use 2 accounts. I get it that support is slammed, but it frustrating to try and figure this out with experiments.
