Preparing Your Poloniex Taxes

The first and most important step when using CryptoTaxCalculator is to import all your crypto data onto our platform. If you have just traded on Poloniex CryptoTaxCalculator can calculate your Poloniex tax, otherwise, you can find out your general tax obligation and a profit and loss breakdown by token.

There are two ways to import your transactions from Poloniex, an API, or a CSV history upload.

Using an API

On Poloniex:

1. Once logged in click on Settings in the top right corner and then navigate to the API keys page

   

2. Click create new key and verify through email if needed
3. Uncheck the enable trading option (for security purposes)
4. Save your API and secret keys

On CryptoTaxCalculator:

1. Once logged in navigate to the Import page
2. Select Poloniex from the dropdown menu
