I have a client with a 2024 Gain/Loss report from Coinbase showing a Bitcoin sale on 03/05/2024, with an acquisition date of 11/30/2022. However, Coinbase indicates that there's no cost basis on record for this transaction.
Do they need to go back to Coinbase to retrieve this, or is there another way to handle this?
Note: The client made multiple Bitcoin purchases in 2022 at different prices and believes they can download reports of those transactions. If so, can we use those records to calculate the cost basis? Since they didn’t sell all the Bitcoin they bought in 2022, how do we determine which purchase price to use?

My mistake, that date is apparently when Coinbase transitioned the assets in the account from an older system over to a new one but not the actual date of purchase of those assets.

This is why I spent all the time "decorating" the ceiling over my head at the office. The client could look up for inspiration to select dates & amounts.
Of course you need the client to do the selections and write them down for you.

@George4Tacks My clients mostly just have to write down SLY
