Questions and corrections

Some facts about your own money are not on any chain. Who was on the other side of a transfer, whether a payment was for work, whether a token is spam: only you know. Taxinger asks, keeps your answer, and tells you what it changed.

What is waiting on you

Everything that could not be computed is listed for you. What you can answer becomes a short list of questions in plain words, one question per reason and other side, the largest amounts first. Each one shows the amount it affects, so you can see what answering is worth before you spend time on it.

Nothing on that list is counted as zero in the meantime. Where a total is missing items, we say so, on the screen and in the document for your tax office.

Why something is left out

Every row in that list carries its own reason, in your language, and they divide into two kinds. Some are yours to settle: a transfer whose other side we cannot name, a sale whose purchase we have not read, a bridge whose far end we have not found. The rest are ours to finish: a protocol nobody has read yet, a balance change no transaction explains, a day no source priced. We never mix the two, so you can see at a glance how much of the list is waiting on you and how much on us.

When an answer of yours no longer fits

An answer is kept with the exact operation it was about. Sometimes that operation changes under it: you removed the wallet it was at, a statement was uploaded a second time and written anew, we read the transaction differently, or the wallet you named turned out not to fit. The answer then cannot be used, and keeping quiet about it would leave you believing a figure that rests on nothing.

So the rows this happened to come first in the list, in amber, each naming which of those it was and what to do about it. A transaction on a chain never disappears, so none of this means your history was lost: the amount is still on the row, you are asked again, and the year stays a draft until you have been through it.

Answering

An answer is a fact, never a legal category: who the other side was, whether that payer was a business, whether a transfer went to a wallet of your own. What the law then makes of that fact is the law's part, not yours.

You can answer a whole group at once where the same answer is true of all of it. Every answer computes the year again, and you see that while it works. An answer can be withdrawn whenever you want, and that is yours alone, even where an accountant may write one.

Saying what a transaction was

Beyond the open questions, there is more you can say:

• Retype it: say what it really was, where the reading was wrong.
• Note it: your own words about it, kept with it, so next year you are not working out again what you already knew.
• Mark a token as spam: the airdrops nobody asked for leave your totals and stay out of them.
• Mark a place as your business's: see wallets and addresses.

Whose hand wrote it

Where an accountant works in your account, they may answer, retype, note, mark spam and say a year's return is filed, exactly as you can. Every such row records whose hand it was, and the last word stands: there is no precedence by person, and nothing is locked.

You are emailed once a day when somebody else answered in your year. See working with an accountant.

Through your assistant

The same questions can be read and answered through your own assistant, which is useful when there are hundreds of them: see your assistant.
