# Coinbase Pro Crypto Tax Calculator

The easiest way to calculate your Coinbase Pro crypto taxes with Recap. Import your account statements in seconds.

Coinbase Pro closed on 20 November 2023 and its trading moved to Coinbase Advanced Trade. Your account did not disappear with it: the balances and the history moved across, and past Coinbase Pro statements are still available from the Statements section of [Coinbase](https://recap.io/integrations/coinbase). Those trades still belong in this year's figures if you disposed of anything, and Recap turns that exported history into a tax position. From 2026 tax authorities are widening automatic reporting of crypto under frameworks such as the OECD's Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, so an accurate record matters more than ever.

## Why Coinbase Pro tax can be difficult to calculate manually

### The main friction points

Coinbase Pro was Coinbase's advanced trading platform, retired on 20 November 2023 when trading moved to Coinbase Advanced Trade. If you traded there, that history still needs to be accounted for, and a few things make the manual 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:

This table shows Recap's default classification for common Coinbase Pro transactions. It is not an exhaustive schedule or a ruling. Treatment depends on your circumstances and jurisdiction, and you can recategorise any transaction where yours differ. Confirm your position with a qualified tax adviser.

Selling crypto for fiat and swapping one crypto asset for another are disposals for capital gains purposes, each measured against your cost-basis pool, and a crypto-to-crypto trade is also an acquisition of the asset you receive at its market value. 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 are not disposals.

## 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

### The recurring problems

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.

## FAQs

### Is Coinbase Pro taxable?

In most jurisdictions, yes. Disposals such as selling crypto or swapping one asset for another are typically taxed as capital gains, even though Coinbase Pro itself is now retired. The exact rules depend on where you are tax resident, and Recap classifies and values your transactions so you can see what applies.

### Coinbase Pro has closed, so how do I import it into Recap?

You export your Coinbase Pro transaction history and upload it to Recap, which then imports your full record and classifies and values every trade, deposit and withdrawal for you.

### What happened to Coinbase Pro?

Coinbase Pro was retired in 2023 and its trading moved to Coinbase Advanced Trade within the main Coinbase platform. Any tax from your Coinbase Pro activity still needs to be accounted for, and Recap can reconcile that history.

### Can I combine Coinbase Pro and Coinbase in Recap?

Yes. Recap can import your Coinbase Pro history alongside your Coinbase activity and reconcile them into a single tax position.

### Does Recap handle high trading volume from Coinbase Pro?

Yes. Recap is built to import and reconcile long, high-volume histories, calculating the gain or loss on every disposal so even a retired active account resolves into one clear tax position.
