How to export your Coinbase transaction history

Coinbase stores your full trading history under Statements. You need the complete CSV, not just the current year, so you can review cost basis and adjusted cost base treatment from your earliest purchases.

  1. Go to accounts.coinbase.com and sign in.
  2. Select Statements from the left sidebar.
  3. Under "Generate custom statement," select All assets and All transactions.
  4. Set the date range from account opening to today, not just the tax year.
  5. Choose CSV format and click Generate.

The export includes buys, sells, sends, receives, converts, staking rewards, Coinbase Earn, learning rewards, and Advanced Trade fills - all 35+ transaction types in a single file.

ACB, inclusion rates, and the superficial loss rule

Canada uses the Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) method for crypto. ACB is the weighted average cost of all units of an asset you hold. Every time you buy more, the ACB is recalculated. Every time you sell, the gain or loss is the difference between proceeds and the ACB of the units disposed.

Only 50% of capital gains are taxable in Canada under current law. On a $1,000 capital gain, you add $500 to your taxable income and pay tax at your marginal rate. A proposed increase to two-thirds inclusion for gains over $250,000 was announced in the 2024 federal budget but was later cancelled and did not take effect.

The superficial loss rule denies a capital loss if you buy the same asset within 30 calendar days before or after the sale. The denied loss is added to the ACB of the replacement units instead.

How the report works

The calculator parses all 35+ Coinbase transaction types and produces a transaction schedule for every asset across your complete history. Each disposal includes proceeds, cost basis, gain or loss, and the 50% taxable amount for Canadian review.

Staking rewards, Coinbase Earn, and learning rewards are separated as crypto income, valued at fair market value at the time of receipt. When you later sell those tokens, the capital gain is calculated from that FMV as the ACB.

The report includes a Schedule 3 filing table, income summary, holdings with cost basis, and a complete transaction audit trail. All values are converted to CAD using historical Bank of Canada exchange rates.

CRA and Coinbase

Coinbase does not issue any Canadian tax slips. CRA is actively pursuing crypto data through court orders and information-sharing agreements with foreign exchanges. You are responsible for self-reporting all crypto activity on your T1 return.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coinbase does not issue tax slips to Canadian users. However, CRA has obtained court orders for Canadian user data from crypto exchanges. All crypto disposals must be self-reported on Schedule 3 of your T1 return.

Only 50% of your capital gains are taxable in Canada. On a $1,000 capital gain, you add $500 to your taxable income and pay tax at your marginal rate. The same applies to capital losses - only 50% can be used to offset gains.

If you sell a crypto asset at a loss and buy the same asset within 30 calendar days before or after the sale, the loss is denied. Instead, the denied loss is added to the Adjusted Cost Base of the replacement units, effectively deferring the loss until a future disposal.

Staking rewards are taxable as business income or other income at fair market value when received. The ACB of those tokens is set to their FMV at receipt. When you later sell the staked tokens, the gain above that ACB is a capital gain subject to the 50% inclusion rate.

No. Coinbase reports all transaction values in USD, even for Canadian accounts with CAD trading pairs. Our calculator converts every transaction to CAD using historical exchange rates so your report is ready for CRA filing.
