How to Import Coinbase Pro to Awaken and Generate Tax Reports
Although Coinbase Pro has been deprecated (as of December 2023), many users still need to import their historical trades to ensure a complete and accurate tax report. Awaken Tax supports CSV imports from Coinbase Pro for this purpose.
📄 Step-by-Step: Downloading Your Coinbase Pro CSV
To capture your full trading history:
Log in to your Coinbase account
Navigate to Statements under your profile or settings
Select Coinbase Pro as the account type
Under Generate Custom Report:
Set Report type to Account
Choose All Portfolios and All Accounts
Select the date range (e.g. each year you traded)
Choose Format: CSV
Click Generate and wait—Coinbase will email you when the CSV is ready
Download each yearly CSV to ensure your full history is captured
📌 *Note: If you also want the trade-by-trade details, you can generate a "Fills" report separately, but the Account report suffices for tax purposes.*
⬆️ Step 2: Upload CSV into Awaken Tax
Once you have your CSV files:
Log in to Awaken Tax
Go to the Accounts tab and click Add Account
Search for Coinbase Pro and select the upload button
Give the account a name (e.g., “Coinbase Pro 2021”)
Upload your CSV file
Repeat for each year’s file to cover your full history
Awaken will import your trades, transfers, and order data, ensuring a seamless, comprehensive transaction history.
🧾 Tax Documents for Coinbase
As a U.S. user, you may receive:
Form 1099-MISC if you earned $600+ from staking rewards, referrals, or bonuses
Form 1099-INT if you earned $10+ in interest via Coinbase Earn
Form 1099-B is not issued, but you're still responsible for reporting capital gains/losses
Form 1099-NEC: Rare, generally for income outside trading/staking
💡 Even without receiving any forms, report all gains and income. Awaken aggregates your Coinbase Pro imports along with other data to make it easy to file.
🔗 Don’t Forget Other Platforms
To build a complete tax profile, be sure to upload CSVs or connect wallets and exchanges beyond Coinbase Pro. We need your entire crypto transaction history in order to generate accurate tax reports.
