Kraken CSV to Excel / Google Sheets
Excel / Google Sheets won't take your Kraken CSV directly — TurboTax removed crypto CSV import in January 2026 and the legacy importer capped at ~4,000 rows. Upload your export here and download a CSV that imports without the cap.
Why Kraken users get stuck at Excel / Google Sheets
The Kraken details that trip up a clean Excel / Google Sheets filing — and how the converter handles each.
Note 01
Kraken's account Ledgers export is a raw activity log — use the Kraken tax/gain-loss CSV so proceeds and basis are already paired per disposal.
Note 02
Kraken issues a 1099-DA to some US users for tax year 2025; if you have that PDF instead of a CSV, the 1099-DA converter handles it.
Note 03
Staking rewards and airdrops are ordinary income at receipt and don't belong on Form 8949 — only the later disposal of those coins does.

Kraken to Excel / Google Sheets FAQ
Which Kraken export should I upload?
Upload the Kraken tax / gain-loss CSV from History → Export, or your Kraken tax statement. Kraken's account Ledgers export is a raw activity log — use the Kraken tax/gain-loss CSV so proceeds and basis are already paired per disposal.
What exactly do I download?
A Form 8949 CSV — one row per disposal with description, acquisition and sale dates, proceeds, cost basis, gain/loss, and any wash sale adjustment. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets, or hand it to your CPA.
Does the 4,000-row limit apply here?
No. The ~4,000-row ceiling was specific to TurboTax's old crypto CSV importer. A plain CSV worksheet has no row cap, so even a heavy Kraken trading year comes through in full.
Are wash sales handled?
If your CSV includes wash sale figures, they pass through using the standard crypto codes (322 short-term, 324 long-term). The IRS has not formally extended the wash sale rule to digital assets for the 2025 filing year, so we honor whatever your source reports rather than inferring new adjustments.
Is my file stored anywhere?
No. Your upload is processed in memory and deleted when the conversion finishes. The output bundle stays available for 24 hours, then is removed. There's no account to create.
