Understanding and Using the Missing Transactions Report

TL;DR: The Missing Transactions Report in CoinTracking helps identify incomplete or mismatched transfers, primarily by checking for correctly paired deposits and withdrawals. Transfers are color-coded by match quality (Exact, High, Medium, Low, None). The goal is to ensure all your data is imported and matches correctly before generating a tax report. Common issues include missing exchange data, incorrect fees, wrong transaction types, or time mismatches. Fix these by ensuring all wallets/exchanges are imported, transaction types are correct, and fees and timestamps align.


What is the Missing Transactions Report?

The Missing Transactions Report is a tool in CoinTracking that shows transactions that lack a corresponding match (i.e., a deposit missing its withdrawal or vice versa). It's essential for identifying data gaps and ensuring accurate portfolio and tax reporting.


How Transfers Are Matched

CoinTracking considers a transfer as a pair: a withdrawal from one source and a deposit to another. The match quality is based on two main criteria:

  • Amount: Must match exactly or closely (default tolerance is ~95%).

  • Time: Must fall within a defined window (default: -24h to +48h).

Matches are color-coded:

  • Green (Exact/High): Ideal match. Amounts and times align perfectly or nearly so (may differ slightly due to fees).

  • Yellow (Medium): Deposit occurs before withdrawal, or amount is mismatched.

  • Orange (Low): Same as Medium but with greater discrepancy.

  • White (None): No corresponding match found..


Why Do Transactions Show as Missing?

  • Only one side of the transfer was imported (e.g., Binance but not Kraken).

  • Time gap between withdrawal and deposit exceeds 72 hours.

  • Incorrect/missing fees.

  • Duplicate transaction IDs from exchanges.

  • Merged deposits/withdrawals (e.g., multiple transactions grouped as one).

  • Wrong transaction types (e.g., airdrop incorrectly set as deposit).

  • Purchases marked as deposits instead of trades.

  • Expenses or losses marked incorrectly.
