Futures Tax Germany

[Michael_Grauvogl]

If you trade futures, even if you hold it for multiple days, koinly calculate the win and lost for each day, instead of only calculate the difference between the buy and sell amount. The result is, that you have very high wins and losts.
Since this year you can only reduce the wins with max 20000€ lost in germany by law.
I asked other people about that topic and they say that calculation win and lost every day for activ futures is wrong.
Why did koinly calculate it that way? How can i fix this? I allready think about calculating the futures tax by my own with excel what would be very disappointing after paying for koinly. And it would be a lot of work.
You guys have any suggestions for me? If someone from the koinly team reads this. I also interested in your opinion to this topic. Regards, Michael

edit: Now i checkt how the P&L csv file is build. I was able to re-build a P&L style csv file by my own to import the data my way.

Correct German Future Profit calculation is also, what I am looking for. In particular, I want the ability to treat MARGIN and FUTURES trades differently, as it is mentioned on their German tax guide (see Germany Crypto Tax Guide 2022 | Koinly under the headline “Margin trading”). And I don’t want P&L to be calculated for open positions, especially not, if they are held open between two taxation periods, as that would totally mess up the calculated tax for both periods.

The German € 20.000 Verlustverrechnungsbeschränkung is another nightmare. I hope, though, that that regulation will soon be annuled by the German constitutional court (Bundesverfassungsgericht). But until that happens, a report, that reminds a trader, how much losses have already been accrued, would be very useful.
