Common Errors

Common CoinTracking Errors

CoinTracking surfaces four of them itself, through the checks under Analysis and the warnings in the tax report. What was never imported, no check will show.

01_HISTORY_GAPS

Gaps in the history

A whole exchange, a wallet or a period missing from the import, often without any error message. Balances look plausible but are incomplete.

02_CSV_IMPORT

CSV import errors – CoinTracking CSV import error

Uploading exchange CSVs or filling the manual template and mapping everything correctly: many fail here. TX-Partner handles format, columns and mapping.

03_NEGATIVE_BALANCE

Negative balances – CoinTracking negative balances

Holdings under “Balance per Exchange” do not add up or turn negative? Then transactions are incomplete or misassigned.

How negative balances are fixed
04_MISSING_TRANSACTIONS

Missing Transactions

The check under Analysis → Checks shows deposits and withdrawals without a transfer counterpart, caused by bridges, scam tokens or incomplete API imports.

How missing transactions are found
05_REPORT_ERRORS

Tax report errors

“Show warnings” flags “Short (Warning)” and unrealistic gains: a sale without a matching buy gets a cost basis of zero.

How report errors are resolved
06_DUPLICATE_TRANSACTIONS

Duplicate Transactions

The “Duplicate Transactions” check finds what overlapping CSV and API imports created twice. TX-Partner cleans it up.

Causes

Why CoinTracking shows errors

CoinTracking calculates with what it has. The error message rarely sits where the cause is.

The same exchange imported twice

API plus CSV, or several sub-accounts such as spot and futures: duplicates and mirrored balances, an outflow under one label, its inflow under the other.

Booked manually instead of adding the source

Manual entries break with the next API sync. Once a source is added, CoinTracking usually reclassifies correctly on its own.

API from the connection date

Exchange APIs deliver only from the connection date and not every transaction type. Bought in 2021, API connected in 2024: the old trades are missing.

Misinterpretations

A transfer is booked as a trade, or an entry is left without any classification. Both distort the calculation.

What TX-Partner makes of it

The cause is fixed, not the warning.

01

Reconstructed, not patched

TX-Partner reconstructs what really happened on-chain. A lump-sum adjustment does not make the assignment correct, only invisible.

02

Fixed price after the analysis

TX-Partner looks at the data first, then you know the costs, before you place the order. No hourly rate, one fixed price for the quote.

03

Ready to file

One data set for three recipients: tax report, proof of funds, DAC8 reconciliation.

From Practice

When CoinTracking Errors Hurt

Three clients, three CoinTracking accounts. What was left after the cleanup.

“At first I panicked because a lot was wrong in CoinTracking, including a missing cost basis. Fortunately everything was cleaned up within a short time.”
O. J.
“I was skeptical whether anyone could really handle my DeFi transactions. Liquidity Pools, bridges across multiple chains. They actually know their stuff.”
T. P.
“Initially I was panicking because I had complex transactions and used many bridges across different chains. But then reassured. Years of experience.”
Joy

Frequently Asked Questions

Before the first call

CoinTracking is powerful but reaches its limits with DeFi protocols, bridges across multiple chains, NFT transactions, closed exchanges and years without documentation. The typical symptoms: negative balances, tax-report warnings, phantom gains from misclassified bridges. When you see these effects, the data is the problem, not the tool. Tool-agnostically, the 10 most common crypto tax tool errors show the same pattern. TX-Partner addresses the root cause and prepares the data so CoinTracking can calculate cleanly. More on this in the hub When the Tax Tool Falls Short.
Partly very well, but not always reliable. CoinTracking recognizes many DeFi protocols (LP-Token, Yield Farming, Liquid Staking, Bridges) automatically via API or CSV. But: incoming and outgoing transactions are often not assigned the correct classifications, or wrong rewards are displayed. A bridge transfer ends up as a sale, an LP deposit as a trade, staking rewards with the wrong value. TX-Partner goes through every DeFi transaction and classifies it manually.
TX-Partner creates an individual offer based on the actual complexity of your portfolio. The free consultation gives you an honest estimate upfront: what needs to be done and what it would cost. No hidden costs, no hourly-rate surprises. You decide afterward.
In the free consultation, Robert or Johannes personally review your CoinTracking setup. In 30 minutes you know where you stand: which errors are critical, which optional, what needs to be done and what it would cost. If TX-Partner is not the right fit for your case, we will say so in the call.
Lost years, closed exchanges, forgotten wallets: TX-Partner reconstructs your history via on-chain forensics, archived data sources and bridge logs. This works even if you have not documented anything since 2017. More on the hub page Reconstruct crypto transactions.
Depending on portfolio scope and complexity, a complete CoinTracking cleanup usually takes 2 to 6 weeks. TX-Partner creates a timeline upfront and keeps you informed about progress. For urgent cases with a fixed deadline (tax filing date, bank inquiry), there is the option to speed up the process. Mention it directly in the consultation.
