Kraken FAQ

Should I export Trades or Ledgers from Kraken?

Export Ledgers. The Ledgers export includes deposits, withdrawals, staking rewards, and all other activity. The Trades export only covers spot trades and misses staking income and other events.

Does dTax support Kraken staking rewards?

Yes. Kraken staking rewards appear as 'staking' entries in the Ledgers CSV. dTax classifies these as ordinary income at the fair market value on the receipt date, per IRS Rev. Rul. 2023-14.
