How do I report my Bittrex taxes?

All activity conducted on Bittrex is considered taxable under global tax rules.

• Capital gains tax: Applies when you sell, trade, or convert crypto. Gains = sale price – cost basis.

• Income tax: Applies when you receive crypto from staking, airdrops, rewards, or promotions. The fair market value at receipt counts as income.

CoinTracker automatically categorizes your Bittrex transactions to calculate accurate capital gains, losses, and taxable income.

Yes. Even though the exchange no longer operates, all prior trading activity remains taxable and must be reported. You are required to declare:

• Spot trades

• Altcoin swaps (taxable disposals)

• Deposits/withdrawals involving gains or income

• Airdrop or promotional rewards

CoinTracker consolidates your Bittrex history with all your other exchanges and wallets to ensure full compliance.

Partially. Before closing, Bittrex allowed users to export:

• Trade history CSVs

• Deposit/withdrawal logs

• Account statements

However, Bittrex did not issue official tax forms such as:

• Form 1099-B

• Form 1099-MISC (for most users)

• Local equivalents outside the U.S.

You can upload your Bittrex CSVs directly to CoinTracker to generate tax-ready reports.

If you downloaded your reports before closure:

1. Locate your Bittrex trade history, withdrawals, and deposit CSVs.

2. In CoinTracker, go to Add Account → Bittrex → Upload CSV.

3. Import spot trade history, deposit/withdrawal logs, and any airdrop/reward data.

4. CoinTracker automatically processes and calculates your gains, losses, and income.

Bittrex did not issue forms like Form 1099-B or 1099-MISC for most users. Only select U.S. users with staking or reward income may have received 1099-MISC during certain years.

Regardless, CoinTracker generates:

• Form 8949

• Schedule D

• HMRC CGT summaries

• ATO CGT reports

using your imported transaction history.

Inaccuracies usually occur if:

• You exported only trade history but not withdrawal/deposit logs.

• You traded using multiple Bittrex subaccounts.

• You withdrew crypto to external wallets without linking them in CoinTracker.

• Bittrex data was incomplete at shutdown.

CoinTracker resolves these issues by:

• Matching transactions with on-chain data

• Filling gaps with historical pricing

• Reconstructing missing disposals using blockchain explorer records

No. Bittrex never withheld or paid taxes on behalf of users.

You are responsible for calculating and reporting your own tax obligations.

CoinTracker simplifies this with automatically generated gain/loss reports.

Yes — in certain cases.

Bittrex complied with U.S. regulatory requirements and provided some user information to the IRS when obligated (e.g., for 1099 filings).

After shutdown, no additional tax reporting occurs, but historical compliance still applies.

CoinTracker helps ensure your filings align with any past data that may have been shared.

Not anymore. However, you can still use:

• Saved CSV exports

• Email confirmations

• Blockchain transaction data

CoinTracker uses this information to produce complete year-end summaries and tax-ready documents.
