Question

Calculation of coinbase transactions is wrong. The individual transactions are correct but the proceeds and cost basis are totally wrong. How do I fix this?

wrong compared to what?

proceeds and cost basis are not calculated.

That is the data that you enter. gain/loss is the calculated value.

The summary for Coinbase shows 3 things:

1. Total gain or loss 

2. Proceeds

3. Cost basis

 

This is generated by importing a CSV of transactions. eg: Buy, Sell, Interest, Reward, etc.

 

The proceeds and cost basis are both in the ballpark of $500k, but i didn't trade an amount anywhere near that. 

 

I fear that some sort of rounding error / floating point precision botched the calculation

Resolved.

 

Instead of downloading from Coinbase from directly using my credentials I used, "Enter another way" and directly input the gains and losses.
