When it's time to begin a new tax year, the first step is to update your Transaction Sources and pull in the latest transaction data. If you work in your ZenLedger account throughout the year, you may periodically resync your sources, which is fine. If that is the case, we recommend resyncing your sources every few months. ZenLedger does not automatically update your transactions, but the steps to do so are simple.
Note: We advise setting a lock date on your account before resyncing your sources. For more information on how to set the lock date and which date to use, check out our Transaction Date Lock article.
To get started, navigate to the Import tab to begin your refreshing and re-syncing.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Resync API Connections:
Step 1: From the Import page, find the exchange whose API you want to re-sync.
Step 2: Click the three dots to the right of the API source and select Resync from the menu. You may have multiple APIs showing for one exchange (due to past resyncs), and in this case we recommend resyncing the most recent one.
Note: If you are not given the option to resync an API, then it may be an outdated API that is no longer working. In this case, you would need to delete the old API for this exchange and re-import a new one, but it is important to note that this will remove any manual changes you've made to the transactions currently imported with that API.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Resync Wallet Addresses:
Step 1: From the Import page, find the wallet address(es) you wish to resync.
Step 2: Using the drop-down arrow to the far right, select ReSync from the menu. You may have multiple lines of the same wallet address showing due to past resyncs, and in this case we recommend resyncing the most recent one.
Instructions for Updating CSV Imports:
Import a new, updated CSV to add new records. You can do this by searching for the source you are needing to update on the Imports page. If any records are duplicated between the old CSV and the new one, the system will ignore the copies and import only the new information, but it is also advised that you edit down the CSV to remove transactions you have already imported.
For Custom CSVs:
Import a new, updated CSV to add new records. Do NOT include transactions
that have previously been recorded and imported in ZenLedger in a Custom CSV as they will be duplicated. Please review our Custom CSV Article for instructions on how to create and import a Custom CSV.
