Coinbase

Coinbase usually offers OAuth/API sync in tax software plus CSV/tax-center downloads. Prefer official Coinbase export for years the API misses.

1. Data access

Export / sync paths we track for tax-history reconstruction.

API / OAuth

  1. In your tax software, choose Coinbase and complete OAuth or API connection
  2. Wait for full history sync; re-sync after year-end

4. Regulatory snapshot (MiCA)

Linked legal entities when curated — never equate brand ≡ licence.

Brand ≠ licence. Open each legal entity page before asserting MiCA authorisation.

Caveats

  • Coinbase.com vs Coinbase Advanced / Exchange product lines may need separate exports
  • US tax forms (1099) ≠ full cost-basis history for every jurisdiction

Educational — not tax, legal, or licence advice. Data-access grades are about reconstructable history, not solvency or security.
