Better tax support from Stacks Explorer

I’m having an absolute nightmare trying to get a simple transaction export from Stacks Explorer for my tax to upload into my tax software. I’m across 12 chains and 4 CEXs at this point and Stack is absolute worst out of all of them when it comes to transaction data by a country mile.
There’s only crypto tax software program who I’ve found with a full integration: Summ (previously CryptoTaxSoftware) and one with an integration that only looks at STX transactions: Koinly (yeah I know, pretty pointless).

On any other chain you can download a CSV of your transactions via block explorer and get it into the format you need for whatever tax software you’re using e.g., Solscan, Etherscan ect…

I can’t even copy paste out of the web page

with the current Stacks Block Explorer as it truncates the addresses and doesn’t give enough data from the transactions themselves.

Cosmos has this website that gives you simple transaction exports for dozens of their chains, for your taxes, in the formats of a bunch of crypto tax software programs. It’s so basic but SOOOO useful: StakeTax: Blockchain CSVs For Tax Season

Something like that would be great for Stacks.

At a minimum just being about to get the following basic data out of the explorer in CSV would be enough:

  • Date
  • Received Quantity
  • Received Currency
  • Sent Quantity
  • Sent Currency
  • Fee Amount
  • Fee Currency
  • Transaction Hash

That’s the bare minimum Awaken needs to import transactions and it’s very similar to most other popular crypto tax software programs.

Is anyone interested in building this? Would Stacks fund a grant to get this built?

just had someone recommend this https://fatstx.github.io/

sent them some STX
Someone fund the heck outta this to include

  • more currencies
  • larger exports
  • templated exports for popular crypto tax software (Awaken, Koinly, etc..)
  • way more reliable (it’s hit or miss if the API pull works ATM)

After wrestling with this for nearly a day, I still can’t get a tax report out. It’s not exporting amounts correctly (have cross checked with Summ) and it can’t report back more than a 18 months. So this still doesn’t, unfortunately, mean I don’t now have to pay for a separate tax software subscription for what is a few hundred transactions…
