How do I edit /include a missing cost basis

I purchased ELROND which was later replaced with ELROND GOLD on a 1,000 to 1exchange rate. The Exchange then de-listed ELROND hence no cost basis for my original purchase. How can I include the original cost?

  1. 1 transactions are missing purchase history

You are missing deposits/trades for some coins so Koinly has assumed you got them at zero cost. This can result in higher taxes if the amounts are large. You can review your missing cost history transactions to figure out what the problem is. It usually has to do with trades on delisted markets or lack of support for historical data by the exchange API. An alternative may be to delete all existing trades and import them using a CSV file instead.

Hello David,

You can always create a manual transaction that replaces the missing history of the asset you have. You can set the worth of the asset at that time also when you setup the transaction or change it after the fat by opening the transaction and editing it.

Hi Anakin,

Thank you for that, my Koinly program tells me that the transaction was synced by API and cannot be edited…what now?
Regards,

Hi again Anakin,

I guess what I’ll try is to delete all my Wallets, hoping I can re-install them after, and then import the transaction history as a CSV file??
Cheers,
David

Hi Anakin,

If I delete my Wallets/Exchanges will I be able to reload them again?
Thanks,
David
