Recently, I suddenly realized something: I no longer bother to explain why I only think about tax reporting at the end of the year. Anyway, delaying until the last minute just drives me crazy. Now I just honestly keep transaction records: I regularly export transaction details from the exchange, deposit and withdrawal records to a cloud drive, and also note the on-chain transfer Tx hashes in the same spreadsheet. I don’t aim to be highly professional, at least I can match “where this fund came from and where it went” when the time comes. Also, don’t just focus on profit and loss screenshots; screenshots are the least reliable, change the page and they’re gone...

By the way, recently hardware wallets have been out of stock + phishing links are everywhere, which makes me even more hesitant to click randomly. Recording this also applies—don’t try to save time by using unknown accounting tools, because in the end, you might not file your taxes properly, and your wallet could be emptied first, which would be awkward. That’s it for now, being cautious never hurts.
