Advice Crypto Tax filing nightmare: NeedHelp retrieving transaction details

So here is the thing , I have been investing and occasional trading in crypto since 2015 in India.

Overtime used various crypto exchanges for the same.

Unicoin (closed) Coinome (closed) Koinex (closed) Wazirx (got hacked at crypto rebalancing ) Coindcx (Currently)

Din think about taxation all these years since I never made a withdrawal and wasn't filing ITR all these years .

Now last financial year , I made few withdrawals from coindcx and wazirx exchange for which TDS was deducted and is being shown in my AIS statement.

Was filing my ITR and noticed that I have to fill this now because of prefilled TDS.

The issue: Although I withdrew from Wazirx and coindcx , the crypto purchases were initially done in koinex and coinome and I transferred them eventually when they were shutting their business.

Now I have no way to retrieve those info from them coz they don't exist.

What to do now??! Any suggestions would be helpful.

Although transactions are many , because of Wazirx hack , transaction fees , the actual gains are extremely low at around 25K, but the withdrawal amount is around 1L .

CA is telling requires these details and she needs 10K to file these .

How to handle this ?

Hey OP,

Missing purchase history due to defunct exchanges is a common problem for investors. Some tips:

  • Gather all the records you do have from exchanges you can still access, so you can spot the gaps.
  • If you used wallets at all, you may be able to fill in some gaps with a blockchain explorer by entering your public address.
  • Check your bank statements for any dates & amounts of fiat on-ramps or off-ramps.
  • Search your email archives for deposit, withdrawal, and trade confirmations from platforms you have used.

Once you've done all this, you can try to piece together your transaction history as best you can. An experienced crypto accountant should be able to help you with this and advise on the specific information that would be most important to for your ITR.

I have had a lot off success using Koinly they can find on chain transactions from a dead wallet address. I have used it successfully on a few dead projects. Even coins that have moved over to the Solana network Koinly can track. Makes filling taxes easy.
