How do I file my Trust Wallet taxes?

You can do this yourself by identifying all your taxable transactions, the kind of tax that applies, your capital gains and losses for each disposal and the fair market value in your fiat currency of any crypto income… but it’s time consuming.
This is why most investors opt to use crypto tax software like Koinly. Koinly does all this for you and generates your tax report, ready to file with your tax office. Here’s how it works…

2. If you can't find your coin, this means Koinly can't yet auto-sync transactions for that coin yet. We're always working on supporting new coins. so please let us know if this is the case for you and we'll get it added as soon as we can.
