When CoinTracker finds an outgoing Send without a matching incoming Receive, it classifies the outflow as a disposal. If the receiving wallet is yours, connecting it lets CoinTracker pair the two transactions as a transfer.
Why this matters for your taxes
Disposals are taxable events. When a transfer between your own wallets is misclassified as a Send, CoinTracker calculates a capital gain or loss on it — which can inflate your taxable liability on your tax report.
Fix transfers marked as Send
CoinTracker categorizes transactions based on the data from your synced wallets and exchanges. If the receiving wallet isn't connected, the outgoing transaction appears as a Send by default.
- Confirm the receiving wallet address or exchange account is one you control.
- Go to your CoinTracker dashboard and select Add wallet.
- Sync the receiving wallet or exchange by connecting via API, public address, or by uploading a CSV file.
Once both wallets are synced, CoinTracker automatically pairs matching outflows and inflows as transfers. Note: For the pairing to work, the send and receive amounts must match and the timestamps must align closely.
For a walk-through of each connection method, see how to add a wallet or exchange to CoinTracker.
If your wallet isn't supported
Use the CSV import method. Prepare your transaction history as a CSV file, following CoinTracker's formatting requirements. Make sure the dates, times, and amounts align precisely with the sending wallet so CoinTracker can pair the transactions.
If a transfer is flagged as Review suggested
A Review suggested flag on a transfer often points to an insufficient quantity error, which can cause cost basis to display incorrectly. To resolve the flag, see how to resolve review suggested transactions.
