IDEX is a decentralized Ethereum exchange platform with its own token, IDEX. It offers an order book combined with an automated market maker. The platform also offers other popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, USD Coin, Dogecoin, Tether, and Binance USD. Trades can also stake tokens and earn rewards. 

How does IDEX tax reporting work?

Are you an IDEX trader looking for an IDEX tax report? The platform doesn’t offer any tax documents, but you can make use of Accointing’s IDEX tax calculator and portfolio tracker.

• API – Allow Accointing to connect automatically to your IDEX account and sync your transaction data.

Common issues with importing transactions from IDEX

The IDEX CSV file contains trading data but not trading fees, withdrawals, and deposits. To get a comprehensive tax report, these data are also required. You can send a request to IDEX support requesting a complete CSV file containing withdrawals, deposits, and fees.

The IDEX API on the other hand, will not sync fees charged on completed trades. However, IDEX has been working to upgrade its API to support this. If you notice that trade fees are missing, you can request their support team for a complete CSV file to allow you to import all your transaction history.
