Yeah, just trying to figure out what's going to be the best way to do this. On the conversion side of things, where does that cost go? It should be on the sale of the BTC in the example above right? So for instance:
Buy 0.1 BTC at 50, for a net 5k of BTC
Sell on Exodus as part of conversion.
If I sold it at less than 5k total value, there's no gain. But there is a capital loss you should report on your tax return.
Or, say the value of BTC went up to 55k, so I then had 5.5k to sell.
If my initial fee to buy on Coinbase was $20 for example.
The transfer cost to get into HBAR is 3%, or $165.
So I would have a net gain of 500 - 20 - 165, or $315. Correct
Is that the general idea of how you'd have to track this through the process? Yes, this is how I understand it.
And is it necessary to report purchases if you haven't sold anything? No. But you will want to keep the data on purchases somewhere because you will need it eventually when you decide to sell.
