You might be wondering, does Coinbase provide CSV tax and trade history reports? What about a Coinbase tax API? Is it even possible to get tax info and statements from Coinbase? The good news is, while Coinbase might not provide tax forms and documents, Coinbase does offer 2 easy ways to export transaction and trade history!

Koinly works by importing your Coinbase transaction data. Let's look at an example - here's some transactions in a Coinbase account.
You can import your Coinbase transaction history via API integration or by uploading CSV files of your Coinbase transaction history. Once you've done this, you'll be able to see your Coinbase transactions in Koinly - like this.
This lets you manage all your crypto transactions - from Coinbase and any other exchanges you use - from one single platform, making crypto tax simple. Here's how to import your Coinbase transaction data.
Good to know
If you use Coinbase Pro, you'll need to sync your Coinbase Pro account separately (see how here). The Coinbase API now supports the new 'advanced trade' transactions.
Good to know
If you've set up 2-factor authentication, your Coinbase account may ask you to verify after you've selected send request. In some instances, it may take a couple of days for your email and attached CSV file to come through, so don't panic if you don't see it straight away. Your Coinbase CSV file will not contain transactions to and from Coinbase Pro, so you'll need to import a separate CSV file with your Coinbase Pro transactions. If you are using both wallets, it's normal to see transactions from Coinbase Pro to Coinbase, even if you never sent those funds. This is because whenever you transfer crypto from Coinbase Pro, internally it arrives at your Coinbase account first, before being sent on. These transfers aren't taxable events and Koinly should recognize this automatically.
