📝 Description
A missing categorization appears when Waltio cannot determine the destination or nature of an outgoing transaction. It is crucial to review your transactions and categorize all of them because, depending on their nature, their impact on your tax calculation will differ.
⚠️ Warnings
Your tax report cannot be considered reliable if you still have transactions left to categorize.
For countries where the calculation method is LIFO or FIFO, ensure that all of your transactions are categorized.
Trade-type transactions cannot be categorized. Only Inflows (deposits) and Outflows (withdrawals) can be categorized.
It is essential to upload all of your transactions from day one before starting to categorize your transactions.
📂 Filter your corrections by missing categorizations
Go to the Warnings page.
Apply the filter:
Warning type includes Missing categorization.
📤 Step 1: Verify that you have added all your wallets and platforms to Waltio
If you have many corrections of this type to complete, the likely cause is a missing wallet or platform to which you transfer funds.
Outgoing transactions then appear without a label, without the corresponding deposits being visible.
💡 Make sure you have added all of your accounts to Waltio before moving on to the next step.
📂 Step 2: Determine the nature of your transactions
If you still have categorizations left to complete, you need to determine the nature of these transactions.
Your transaction originates from a platform:
If the transaction comes from an exchange platform (e.g., Binance, Coinbase...), download a transaction statement from it and locate the relevant transaction. Statements generally indicate the nature of the operation.
Your transaction originates from a wallet:
Click on the transaction to view its details.
In the Identification tab, click on the link to the blockchain explorer to identify the origin of this withdrawal.
Locate the transaction on the explorer page.
In the example above:
This is a swap of 11,762 DAI for 10.88 OHM.
This is the initiating address of the transaction (yours).
These are the transaction details confirming point number 1.
Conclusion: The withdrawal of 11,762 DAI to be categorized is indeed a swap, so you must assign it the Swap label.
📝 Step 3: Choose the appropriate label
To resolve the warning, you must assign the correct label to the transaction. A label defines the nature of the transaction and determines how it is processed by the calculation engine.
👉 Visit our Help Center and consult the articles corresponding to your tax residency to identify the right label to apply, depending on the transaction type (deposit or withdrawal).
💡 Additional information
For less common cases, you can use the Other loss or Other withdrawal labels. ⚠️ We strongly recommend consulting a tax advisor to confirm the use of these labels based on your situation.
