How to download and export NiceHash trading and transaction history

You can download your transaction history from your NiceHash account in two ways. You can download your NiceHash trading history by CSV file import or by API import.

1. NiceHash connects with crypto tax software via API to provide fast tax calculation and reporting. With the aid of an API, you can easily export your transaction history into a crypto tax software that calculates your tax and helps you report it to relevant tax authority.

2. You can manually export your transaction history from your NiceHash account as a CSV file. To do this, you have to download your transaction history before importing it into crypto tax software, or you can use your CSV file to calculate your crypto taxes yourself.

Does NiceHash provide a tax report?

No, NiceHash doesn’t provide tax reports. Instead, it provides details about your transaction history which can be used by crypto tax software to calculate and report taxes. 

Does NiceHash supply a financial statement?

No, NiceHash doesn’t supply a financial statement. However, with your NiceHash transaction history, you can generate a financial statement that is used for tax reporting.

NiceHash CSV export

Downloading NiceHash CSV files for your tax report is easy.

Simply log in to your Nicehash account. Move to the top right-hand side of the home page then locate your profile icon and click on it. From the drop-down menu, click on my settings. From the menu on the left, click on reports then new report. Under the ‘select transaction type’ section, click on select all. Click on the currency you are working with then select the fiat currency you are working with. Fix a date range then a time zone. You can now click on create. At the right side of your newly generated report, click on the three dots and select download export.

Voila! You have your NiceHash CSV export.

Remember, if you’re uploading your CSV file to a crypto tax calculator - you’ll need to export your complete NiceHash transaction history to ensure your cost basis, fair market value and short and long-term capital gains correctly. So your CSV file needs to cover the entire time period you’ve used NiceHash for - however long that might be.

NiceHash API

Alternatively, you can use the NiceHash API that you can use to import your crypto transaction history into crypto tax software. You will have to create API keys along with an API secret code on your NiceHash account first - you can find your API keys under settings. Koinly has provided a detailed step-by-step guide on how to use tax API in reporting your Nicehash transactions. Find it here. 

Once you’ve got your NiceHash API key, secret code and organization ID, head over to your crypto tax app and add your NiceHash wallet by inputting the API key, API secret code and organization ID.

Does NiceHash provide an end-of-the-year statement?

No, NiceHash doesn’t provide an end-of-year statement. However, you can still get transaction details that cover the whole year. When generating your transaction history, set the date range to cover for the year in question. For example, you can set the date range from 1st January to 31st December 2021.

How to generate NiceHash tax forms

Generating tax forms from NiceHash can be done in two ways. You can either generate it via a NiceHash API code or you can manually download your transaction history before importing it into a crypto tax software.
