Import Data From Kraken

US Traders can easily calculate their taxes from trading on Kraken and create the right tax documents to submit to the IRS. Digitax fully supports Kraken and makes reporting your transactions very easy.

Let's Begin...

We need to get your transactions from Kraken. We'll be using Kraken's API to get your data.

While other providers allow you to import CSVs, we enforce using the API as this will be less error prone. Futhermore, for your security, Digitax will never save your API keys.

Pretty simple right? Follow the instructions for API below.
