Are you confident in accurately reporting cryptocurrency earnings on your tax returns?

How do I report my CoinJar taxes?

You can easily report your CoinJar taxes by connecting your account to CoinTracker. CoinTracker automatically imports your CoinJar trades, purchases, sales, and rewards, calculates your capital gains and crypto income, and generates ATO-compliant tax reports ready for lodgment through myTax or your accountant.

How do I connect my CoinJar account to CoinTracker?

  1. Click "Add CoinJar Account"

  2. This will direct you to grant CoinTracker read-only access to your CoinJar transactions. This does not give us access to move your funds.

If your account is closed you can use CSV to import CoinJar transactions

How are CoinJar transactions taxed?

Crypto activity on CoinJar is taxable under Australian law.

  • Capital Gains Tax (CGT): Applies when you sell, swap, or spend cryptocurrency (including with the CoinJar Card). Your taxable gain is the difference between your purchase price (cost base) and the market value at disposal.

  • Income Tax: Applies when you earn crypto through rewards, airdrops, or staking. The fair market value of the crypto at the time received counts as income.

CoinTracker automatically categorizes your CoinJar transactions and applies the correct ATO treatment for each event.

Do I have to pay taxes on CoinJar?

Yes. The ATO treats cryptocurrency as a CGT asset, meaning any disposal triggers a tax event. You must report:

  • Selling crypto for AUD or another token

  • Using CoinJar Card for purchases

  • Swapping coins (e.g., BTC → ETH)

  • Earning interest, rewards, or cashback

CoinTracker integrates all your CoinJar activity to calculate realized gains, income, and portfolio growth in one ATO-ready report.

Does CoinJar provide tax documents?

Yes — partially. CoinJar provides transaction history exports and account statements, but it does not produce official ATO tax forms.

You can export your transaction data from CoinJar and upload it to CoinTracker, which automatically generates your capital gains and income summaries for filing.

How to get your CoinJar tax documents

  1. Log in to your CoinJar account.

  2. Go to Settings → Reports → Download Reports.

  3. Select your date range (or financial year).

  4. Choose All Transactions and click Export CSV.

  5. Upload the CSV to CoinTracker, or connect your account via API for automatic syncing.

When does CoinJar issue Form 1099 or ATO tax statements?

CoinJar does not issue U.S. tax forms like 1099-MISC or 1099-B.

Instead, Australian users can download transaction exports and use CoinTracker to generate ATO-compliant tax summaries, including:

  • Capital gains schedules (CGT events A1 & C2)

  • Crypto income summaries

  • Realized and unrealized gain breakdowns

Why aren't my CoinJar documents accurate?

Your CoinJar exports might appear incomplete if:

  • You didn't include CoinJar Card transactions.

  • Some crypto swaps or rewards occurred on CoinJar Earn or Bundles.

  • You transferred crypto between CoinJar and external wallets.

CoinTracker reconciles all your CoinJar trades, bundles, and card activity with blockchain and wallet data for full accuracy.

Does CoinJar automatically deduct taxes?

No. CoinJar does not deduct or remit taxes on your behalf.

You are responsible for reporting and paying your crypto taxes to the ATO.

CoinTracker makes this process simple by providing detailed gain/loss and income reports formatted for Australian lodgment.

Does CoinJar report to tax authorities?

Yes — in some cases. As a registered Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) under AUSTRAC, CoinJar complies with AML/CTF laws and may share transaction data with the ATO.

CoinTracker helps ensure your self-reported data aligns with what may be shared through these compliance frameworks.

Does CoinJar provide financial or end-of-year statements?

Yes. CoinJar provides year-end summaries and account statements that you can download anytime.

Import these into CoinTracker to automatically generate your capital gains, income, and portfolio summaries for your annual tax return.
