Sync Coinbase Pro CSV Recap has a comprehensive integration with Coinbase Pro that makes it easy to manage your crypto tax calculations. Upload your Coinbase Pro history to Recap to import your full history and automate your taxes. From 2026, tax authorities are widening the automatic reporting of crypto under frameworks such as the OECD's Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF), so keeping an accurate record matters more than ever.

Why Coinbase Pro tax can be difficult to calculate manually
Coinbase Pro was Coinbase's advanced trading platform, and it was retired in 2023 when its trading moved to Coinbase Advanced Trade. If you traded on Coinbase Pro, that history still needs to be accounted for, and a few things about it make manual tax work hard:
- Heavy order-book trading. Coinbase Pro was built for active traders, so accounts often hold long lists of trades, each a disposal measured against a cost-basis pool built from the whole history.
- Crypto-to-crypto trades are disposals. Coin-for-coin trades are disposals even though no ordinary money changes hands, and they are easy to treat as simple switches.
- Data lives in an old export. Because the platform is retired, the record usually sits in an exported file that has to be read and valued carefully.
- A long trading history. Years of active trading are hard to reconstruct by hand, especially when the account is no longer live.
How to import your Coinbase Pro data into Recap
Coinbase Pro imports into Recap by file upload. Export your Coinbase Pro transaction history and upload it to Recap, and we bring in your full record automatically, including trades, deposits and withdrawals. Recap classifies and values each entry with our fair-market valuation engine and applies the tax rules for your jurisdiction, so even a retired, high-volume account resolves into a clear set of gains and losses.
How are Coinbase Pro transactions taxed?
Tax treatment depends on the transaction type and where you are tax resident. Here is how the main Coinbase Pro activities are generally treated:
| Transaction type | CGT | Income | Tracked in Recap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposits | |||
| Withdrawals | |||
| Buying crypto with fiat | |||
| Crypto to crypto | |||
| Selling crypto for fiat | |||
| Transferring between your own accounts |
Selling crypto for fiat and swapping one crypto asset for another are disposals for capital gains purposes, each measured against your cost-basis pool. Buying crypto with fiat is not itself a disposal but sets the cost your later disposals are measured against, and transfers between your own accounts and wallets are not disposals.
Refer to our tax guides for a more detailed look at crypto tax rules.
What's in your Coinbase Pro tax report
Recap turns your full Coinbase Pro history into a single tax report: capital gains and losses worked out under the rules for your jurisdiction, high-volume and crypto-to-crypto trading pooled correctly, and a clear year-by-year summary you can file yourself or hand straight to your accountant, even though the platform itself is retired.
Common Coinbase Pro tax challenges and how Recap solves them
Coinbase Pro accounts produce a few recurring tax problems, especially now the platform is retired. Here is how Recap handles each one:
- A retired account. Historical data can be awkward to work with once a platform closes. Recap imports your exported Coinbase Pro history and reconciles it in full.
- High trading volume. Hundreds of trades are slow to reconstruct by hand. Recap calculates the gain or loss on every disposal automatically.
- Crypto-to-crypto trades. Coin-for-coin trades are disposals, not simple swaps. Recap treats each one correctly.
- Linking with Coinbase. Trading later moved to Coinbase Advanced Trade. Recap can combine your Coinbase Pro history with your Coinbase activity into one position.
Why Coinbase Pro users choose Recap
Coinbase Pro users often choose Recap because a retired, high-volume trading account still has to be accounted for, and reconstructing it from an old export by hand is slow and error-prone. Rather than doing that manually, you can upload your history and see your gains and losses reconciled in one report, ready to file or share with your accountant.
