How to Fix The 'Acquisition History Not Found' Error on KoinX: Step-by-Step Guide
Encountering the "Acquisition History Not Found" error on KoinX? Don’t worry—it’s an easy fix! This guide will help you resolve the issue and ensure your crypto tax calculations remain accurate.
What Is the "Acquisition History Not Found" Error?
When KoinX calculates your crypto gains and losses, it needs to know when you acquired each asset and at what price. If you've only uploaded transactions for a specific financial year but haven’t included previous years' purchase data, KoinX won’t be able to track the acquisition history, leading to this error.
Example
Let’s say you bought 2 MATIC in the 2021-2022 financial year and sold them in 2023-2024. If you only upload transactions from 2023-2024, KoinX won’t have the purchase details from 2021-2022, causing an "Acquisition History Not Found" error.
The solution? Simply upload all past transaction data, starting from the very first year you traded crypto. Once KoinX has this information, the error will be resolved automatically.
