hi everyone,

I have been using beancount for some months now and manually added most of my crypto transactions. I have some trouble with ETH lots because every tx is basically a taxable event, that's confusing when handling lot of different wallets, but in general it looks like I am on the right track.

nevertheless I don't know how to proceed to make use of my report in order to prep it for handing over to the tax agency. that's why I am looking for someone who is interested to jump in for some questions from time to time (discord or wherever?)

I have no coding background but am highly interested in managing beancount.

hmu, thanks

The first step is likely separating short and long term capital gains. If you held lots of ETH for less than a year they count as short term. If you use an account like Income:ETH:PnL or some such, you could look at each posting to determine whether it's short or long term and then add each up for a total.
