CoinTaxes

This will fill out IRS form 8949 for the following exchanges:

• Coinbase
• GDAX
• Bittrex data

It assumes all short term sales and will use the highest cost buy order for cost basis. This will lower the amount of taxes you will have to pay. It will make a .txf that you can import into TurboTax, and it will fill out the IRS form 8949. This has only been tested on Windows.

python CoinTaxes.py

If you have a separate configuration file:

python CoinTaxes.py --input randy.yml

Get the API credentials

Coinbase

1. Sign into your Coinbase account

2. Go to the API page and click on New API Key

3. In the popup window check all under Accounts:

   • wallet:accounts:read
   • wallet:addresses:read
   • wallet:buys:read
   • wallet:deposits:read
   • wallet:sells:read
   • wallet:transactions:read
   • wallet:user:read

4. Click Create to see the API key and secret.

5. Insert the API Key into the correct variables in config.yml e.g.

    coinbase:
        key: 'abcdefg1234'
        secret: 'zxcvbasdf1234qwer'
   

GDAX

1. Sign into GDAX

2. Go to API page and under Permissions, check View and then click Create API Key.

3. Enter the two-factor authentication code if you are asked for it

4. Insert the API creds into the correct variables in config.yml e.g.

    gdax:
        key: 'qwerty123'
        secret: 'poiuyt999'
        passphrase: 'mnbvc000'
   

Bittrex

Unfortunately, the Bittrex API does not let you get your entire transaction history via an API. In order to get your entire history, you must login to your Bittrex account, go to https://bittrex.com/History, and then click on "Load All." This will download your entire history in a csv file called "fullOrders.csv". Move this file into the CryptoTaxes directory, and it will be read in.
