How to get a tax report from Trust Wallet?

Accessing Transaction History in Trust Wallet

To begin the process of generating a tax report from Trust Wallet, users must first access their complete transaction history. This includes all incoming and outgoing transactions, token swaps, and any other blockchain-related activities stored within the wallet. To do this, open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device or desktop version if available. Navigate to the specific wallet address for which you need the report. Each cryptocurrency has its own tab, so ensure you check each one individually.

Within each asset's page, tap or click on 'Transaction History' to view all recorded events. It is important to note that Trust Wallet does not generate official tax reports directly within the app, but it provides all the necessary data required by tax reporting platforms. Users can manually export or copy this information into spreadsheets or tax software designed for cryptocurrency transactions.

Exporting Data for Tax Reporting

Once you have accessed your transaction history, the next step involves exporting the data in a format suitable for tax preparation. While Trust Wallet does not offer a built-in export feature, users can manually record each transaction or use third-party tools that integrate with Trust Wallet via API connections or wallet imports.

For manual recording, users can take screenshots or copy each transaction detail including:

• Date and time
• Amount sent or received
• Transaction fees
• Hash ID
• Addresses involved

Alternatively, connecting your Trust Wallet to platforms like Koinly, CoinTracking, or Crypto.com Tax allows automatic syncing of all transactions. These platforms can categorize, calculate capital gains and losses, and prepare reports compliant with tax authorities such as the IRS.

Connecting Trust Wallet to Tax Platforms

To streamline the reporting process, users can link their Trust Wallet accounts to external crypto tax services. Begin by selecting a compatible platform and creating an account. Most services allow wallet integration through wallet address import or private key connection. However, never share your private keys unless you fully trust the service and understand the risks involved.

Some platforms support direct blockchain scanning using public addresses. For example, entering your Trust Wallet's public address into CoinTracking will fetch all associated transactions automatically. Make sure to add all relevant addresses across different blockchains (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain) to capture a complete picture of your activity.

After importing data, these platforms analyze transactions and generate comprehensive reports tailored to your jurisdiction’s tax requirements.

Understanding Required Tax Information

Generating an accurate tax report requires more than just raw transaction data. Tax platforms typically require:

• Cost basis of assets acquired
• Holding period (short-term vs long-term)
• Fair market value at the time of disposal
• Income from staking, airdrops, or rewards

Trust Wallet does not track cost basis or fair market values over time, so relying on third-party services becomes essential. These platforms often pull historical price data from exchanges and apply accounting methods like FIFO (First In, First Out), LIFO (Last In, First Out), or HIFO (Highest In, First Out) to compute taxable gains or losses.

It is crucial to verify that the selected tax platform supports the specific cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks used within your Trust Wallet. Also, ensure that the platform complies with the tax regulations applicable in your country.

Preparing and Reviewing Your Final Report

After importing and analyzing all data, the tax platform will compile a detailed report summarizing:

• Total income from crypto activities
• Capital gains and losses
• Net taxable amount
• Transaction breakdown by date and asset

Before finalizing, review the report thoroughly to confirm accuracy. Discrepancies may occur due to missing transactions, incorrect valuation dates, or misclassified events. Adjustments can usually be made within the platform by editing individual entries or uploading CSV files with corrected data.

Once satisfied with the results, users can download the report in PDF or Excel format and submit it along with their annual tax filings. Some platforms also offer integration with popular tax filing software like TurboTax for seamless submission.
