Good to know (CSV)
When you're selecting the date range, make sure to include all your trading history on Gate.io, even if you're only filing for the most recent tax year. This helps Koinly generate an accurate tax report based on all your transactions. For example, many countries allow you to offset losses from previous years against gains from the current year, meaning you're taxed less. But if Koinly doesn't have this information from previous years, it won't be able to calculate this. Also keep in mind that Gate.io limits users to a maximum of 30 CSV file downloads a day.
