Axiom's docs don't describe a CSV or trade history export, so the practical way to do Axiom taxes is to import the public address of every Axiom wallet you traded from into crypto tax software. The software reads your swaps from the Solana blockchain, adds fees to cost basis and produces Form 8949. We checked Axiom's docs on September 26, 2026.
Risk notice: Crypto trading is high risk and memecoins can go to zero in minutes. Trading bots use hot wallets. This page is not financial advice; only trade what you can afford to lose.
Not tax advice: This guide explains where your Axiom data lives and what the IRS has published. Talk to a tax professional before you file.

What Axiom gives you
Axiom's portfolio docs describe:
- Spot portfolio: total value, balance, unrealized PnL, a PnL chart and an "activity feed" of recent buys and sells.
- Perpetuals portfolio: total PnL and a "Trade History tab" for past perps trades.
We found no download, CSV or tax report feature in the docs index. Unrealized PnL isn't what you report anyway: the IRS taxes realized gains and losses on each disposal (IRS FAQ). So use the chain as your record.
Step 1: Collect every Axiom wallet address
Axiom's sign-up docs have you deposit SOL "directly into the wallet shown". That address is what you import. Also check:
- Extra wallets. Axiom's multi-wallet docs describe one panel that shows "all connected wallets at once". Copy the address of each wallet you traded from.
- Other chains. Axiom also supports BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain, per our review. Those use separate addresses; add them as their own wallets in the tax tool.
- Your withdrawal wallets and the exchange you bought SOL on, so transfers match up.
Only ever share public addresses. Tax software never needs your recovery phrase, and a site that asks for it is a scam.
Step 2: Import into tax software
All the tools we ranked import Solana wallets by public address:
- CoinLedger: paste the address under Solana; its help center says Jupiter and other DEX trades import this way, spot only (CoinLedger).
- CoinTracker: connect by "public address" (CoinTracker).
If a tool misses transactions, Solscan lets you download a CSV from an account's Transfers tab, though it only covers data after July 7, 2021 (Solscan). CoinLedger accepts a Solana CSV upload (CoinLedger).
Step 3: Check how fees were recorded
Axiom's fee page lists a 1% base fee reduced by volume cashback to 0.75%-0.95% net, and you also pay priority fees and bribes. For tax purposes, per the IRS:
- On buys, basis includes fees and "other acquisition costs" (FAQ 8).
- On sells, selling expenses and "digital asset transaction costs" reduce proceeds (Form 8949 instructions).
Fees aren't a separate deduction; they shrink your gain or grow your loss. Spot-check a few trades against Solscan to confirm the software picked up the fee.
A worked example
Hypothetical numbers, to show how fees move your gain. Say you buy a token with 1 SOL when SOL is worth $150, and the bot fee is 0.01 SOL ($1.50). Your cost basis in the token is about $151.50, including the fee. Swapping the SOL is also a disposal of SOL, with its own gain or loss against what you paid for that SOL.
Later you sell the token for 1.5 SOL when SOL is worth $150, or $225, and pay a 0.015 SOL ($2.25) fee. Your net proceeds are about $222.75, so the short-term gain is about $71.25, not $75. Across thousands of trades, getting fees right matters. Tax software does this math per trade if it reads the fee correctly.
Step 4: Cashback and referral rewards (uncertain)
Axiom's reward docs say you "earn Solana" as cashback on trading fees. The IRS has no guidance on trading fee cashback. Treating it as a rebate that lowers your cost is one reading, by analogy to credit card cash back (CoinTracker), but that's not settled.
Referral rewards are different. They look like payment for services, which the IRS treats as income at fair market value when received (FAQ 9 and 12). Note the date and SOL value of every payout and ask a professional.
Step 5: Handle perps separately
Axiom's perps run on Hyperliquid, not Solana, so a Solana wallet import won't capture them. CoinLedger's help center says it can't import DEX perps and suggests entering profit and loss manually. Use Axiom's perps Trade History tab as your source and ask your preparer how to report it.
Which tax tool for Axiom traders?
Active Axiom traders often have thousands of swaps. Prices as of September 26, 2026: CoinLedger charges $99 for up to 1,000 transactions and $199+ for 3,000+ (pricing); CoinTracker charges $199 for 1,000 and $599 for 10,000, with one purchase covering every year you've traded (pricing). Both let you import and preview free.
- Try CoinLedger: lower price per transaction, 14-day refund
- Try CoinTracker: best if you're catching up on past years

Common mistakes
- Missing a wallet. Every wallet you traded from must be imported, or the sells show no cost basis.
- Counting transfers as sales. Moving SOL from Axiom to Phantom isn't a disposal. Link both wallets.
- Ignoring dust and spam. Airdropped junk tokens can clutter the report. Most tools let you hide them.
- Relying on Axiom's PnL. It's a trading view, not a tax calculation. The same goes for our memecoin PnL calculator: use it to check a trade, then report from your tax software.

Risk note
Tax software can misread swaps or price illiquid tokens wrong. Review the output, keep records, and have a tax professional check it. This page is not tax advice.
