๐ Data Import & Broker Guides
Why does Tax-wizard require my full trading history, not just the current year's file?
To correctly calculate Capital Gains and ensure compliance with the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) rule, we must know the exact Acquisition Value (purchase price) of every asset you sold this year. If you sold a stock in 2024 that was purchased in 2020, we need the 2020 file to find its original cost. Always upload your complete account history.
What if my broker is not officially supported?
You can still use Tax-wizard. We provide a Generic Excel Template for you to structure your data into a format our system can read. Learn more here.
๐ ๏ธ Troubleshooting
My dividend values differ slightly from my broker's totals.
Small discrepancies (a few cents) are generally due to rounding. The Tax Authority requires rounding to two decimal places per line item. Tax-wizard aligns with AT rules by rounding individual transactions before summing them, which may cause minor differences from your broker's lump-sum totals.
