How do I fix "Missing price information"?
Quick Answer
This warning flags that Divly can’t find the price for a specific cryptocurrency on the day of your transaction.
To avoid paying the wrong amount in taxes, Divly needs your help in providing the correct market price expressed in your local fiat currency. This is done by editing the Transaction Value of the transaction found in Divly.
Detailed Explanation
Divly automatically fetches cryptocurrency prices and converts them to your local fiat currency using our pricing database and different API's. This means you don’t need to worry about finding the correct conversion rate for every transaction! This is a large time saver and a great reason to use a crypto tax automation tool in the first place.
For most transactions Divly will be able to find the prices automatically and perform all the necessary tax calculations. We have coverage for thousands of cryptocurrencies and all major fiat currencies.
However, in some situations Divly won’t be able to find a price. This can occur when:
-
The cryptocurrency is not covered by our pricing database or external API. Usually this occurs when the crypto is very small or new to the market.
-
The cryptocurrency is covered by our pricing database, but not for the specific date of the transaction.
When you see a transaction with “Missing price information” it is best to resolve it to avoid paying the wrong amount in taxes. Divly will otherwise assume the crypto is worth 0 in your local currency on the date of the transaction.
