What they did
How do I fill in missing crypto tax records? He says he had Grok Bot look at all his wallets and use public block explorers to track down his missing cost basis and transfer history, instead of chasing it all down himself. He says it saved him countless hours.
How it went
A spreadsheet of your transfers and cost basis with the gaps clearly marked for you or your tax preparer.
Worth knowing
- Short post with no numbers. Only share public addresses, never a seed phrase or private key. Have a tax professional check the result before you file.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Help me rebuild my crypto cost basis for [tax year]. Here are my public wallet addresses [list] and exchange exports [files]. Use block explorers to trace every transfer between my wallets and exchanges, match buys to sells, and list any transaction where the cost basis is still missing. Put it all in a spreadsheet with dates, amounts and sources. Never ask for my seed phrase or private keys.
