When you download tax forms, CoinTracker automatically freezes transactions to keep your transaction history stable through that tax year. CoinTracker may update your transaction history as you make edits or as we ship product improvements, but freezing prevents unwanted changes after you generate your tax forms.
How it works
- You can’t currently freeze a specific year.
- Freezing applies to all transactions up to the end of a tax year. For example, freezing your 2024 tax year will freeze all transactions from 2024 and earlier.
Note: The end of the tax year follows the country set in your tax settings.
Steps to manually freeze transactions
- Go to the Taxes page.
- Select the tax year from the dropdown menu to freeze transactions up to.
- Click Get started in the freezing transactions banner.
- Review the details, then click Freeze to confirm.
Depending on your transaction volume, freezing can take some time. Check the status panel for updates on the progress of the freeze.
Can I still make changes to frozen transactions?
Yes. You can still reimport a wallet, add a wallet with transactions from a previously filed year, or edit a past transaction. When you do, CoinTracker shows a confirmation message before committing the change, so you can confirm you want to update historical data.
Troubleshoot freezing issues
Check review suggested transactions before freezing
It’s best to review and edit transactions marked as review suggested before freezing, as you won’t be able to edit them afterward without unfreezing. If you unfreeze transactions to edit details, your past tax calculations may change.
For details on how to resolve review-suggested transactions, see the review-suggested transactions guide.
Can’t freeze your transactions
- Check if a freeze is already in progress. Large transaction volumes may take time to process.
- Make sure you’ve selected the desired tax year to freeze. You can only freeze transactions up to the most recent year.
- If the issue persists, try refreshing the page or signing out and back in.
