Shared Holdings

Koinly Support
1

I am in divorce proceedings falsely accused of hiding crypto. 2 experts later and they still can’t piece it together properly. Now a forensic accountant on the case. I’m hoping that Koinly is the right tool to settle this and I will share the information with the forensic accountant. However my crypto holdings are complex.

I am unsure how to manage, record and tag a number of transactions:

  1. Bitcoin Transfers to my Ex-Wife as part of an agreement we reached (I also have her xPub Address that she received Bitcoin into) - I believe are recorded as Gift???

  2. Celsius Tokens holdings jointly held between myself and my new partner and then exchanged for Bitcoin and eventually Fiat. Because of the accounts I was unable to create an account in her name only for the Celsius in 2021 so I had to convert them and transferred them into her own wallet. This is also part of a nano ledger xPub of wallets. Very mixed at the time.

So it is all a mixed mess.

My understanding is:

  • No need to tag an internet purchase. Leave it as ‘SEND’
  • Tag any bitcoin sent to a Scam as Scam (Sadly I was scammed out of 8BTC in 2018! - Accused of still holding it)
  • Ensure all transfers are correctly allocated
  • Delete duplicate entries resulting in miss-matches
  • Manually adjust entries where a token was transferred and then auto exchanged/burned for the real token (i.e. EOS).

Can I pool my partners and my ex-wifes transactions? I need to demonstrate the full trail of all the crypto.

How do I handle Deposits that were from an exchange that I no longer have the records to such as btc-e?

I appreciate this is a lot of questions. Any answers are greatly appreciated. Having to trace 12 years of transactions.

Hi @John_D1

Given the complexity of your situation, we strongly recommend working with a tax or forensic accountant. Koinly can help you organize your data but cannot offer legal or tax advice.

Here are some quick tips:

  • Transfers to your ex-wife: You can tag these as Gifts if you believe that is the correct tag – Guide here
  • Scams: Tag as Lost - again make sure you are allowed to do that – Guide
  • Joint Celsius holdings: Koinly does not support joint accounts—label transactions clearly and ask your accountant how to treat them.
  • Missing exchange records: Manually create transactions – Guide
  • Duplicates or auto-swaps: Manually fix

You can track multiple wallets in one Koinly account, but ownership pooling must be explained manually.
