This will fill out IRS form 8949 with Coinbase and GDAX data. It assumes all short term sales and FIFO sales. This has only been tested on Windows.

Requirements:

PDFtk:

https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/

GDAX Python Library:

pip install GDAX

Coinbase Python Library:

pip install Coinbase

Instructions:

In the same directory that you cloned this repository, make a file "credentials.py" that contains the following:

coinbaseKey = ''
coinbaseSecret = ''
gdaxKey = ''
gdaxSecret = ''
gdaxPassphrase = ''

You will populate this file with your Coinbase and GDAX API Key details. First, get the Coinbase keys. You can get the Coinbase keys by logging into your Coinbase account and going to https://www.coinbase.com/settings/api and clicking on "+ New API Key." A window will pop up and you should check "all" under Accounts and "wallet:accounts:read," "wallet:addresses:read," "wallet:buys:read," "wallet:deposits:read," "wallet:sells:read," "wallet:transactions:read," and "wallet:user:read" under Permissions, and then click Create.
A new window will pop up with the API Key Details. Put the API Key into the coinbaseKey variable and the API Secret into the coinbaseSecret variable. For example if your Coinbase API Key is abcdefg1234 and your API Secret is zxcvbasdf1234qwer, then in the credentials.py file you should have:

coinbaseKey = 'abcdefg1234'
coinbaseSecret = 'zxcvbasdf1234qwer'

Next, you need to get the GDAX API Key details. Sign into GDAX and go to https://www.gdax.com/settings/api Under Permissions, check "View" and then click "Create API Key." Enter the two-factor authenication code if you are asked for it, and then put the API key, the API secret, and the passphrase in the credentials.py file. Note that the passphrase is located in a text box directory under the Permissions area where you checked "View." If the API key is qwerty123, the API secret is poiuyt999, and passphrase is mnbvc000, then you should finish filling out the credentials.py file (note that your keys, secrets, and passphases could be longer or shorter than the examples given here):

coinbaseKey = 'abcdefg1234'
coinbaseSecret = 'zxcvbasdf1234qwer'
gdaxKey = 'qwerty123'
gdaxSecret = 'poiuyt999'
gdaxPassphrase = 'mnbvc000'

Once the five variables (gdaxKey, gdaxSecret, gdaxPassphrase, coinbaseKey, and coinbaseSecret) are set in credentials.py, you can run the program at the command line:

python taxes.py

When you run this, you will be prompted to enter your full name and then your social security number (these are used only for filling out the tax forms). The filled out form 8949s will be in a new directory called PDFs.
