How to get Pepe Coin tax documents
How to prepare and file your crypto taxes depends on your tax office, but you'll usually report your gains or income from crypto as part of your annual tax return.
To do this for your PEPE tokens, you'll need to identify each taxable transaction and calculate your gain/loss or the fiat value of any income.
It's time consuming - which is why most investors use a crypto tax calculator like Koinly. Koinly can calculate your gains, losses, and income for more than 400,000 ERC-20 tokens - including PEPE!
