Calculate on your own history
The rate is only half the problem. To file, you need to match each disposal to the right acquisition under FIFO, convert to your currency at the date of each transaction, and separate short-term from long-term. ChainFolioAI does this from your transactions — connect wallets read-only or import a CSV from your exchange — and exports to PDF or Excel.
