Walkthrough

From CSVs to a draft packet.

Gainz is built around review, not magic. Import what you have, declare what you hold, review what is missing, then generate a packet that shows both results and open questions.

Workflow

The review sequence.

1

Import

Load exchange CSVs or demo data. Review warnings and source overlaps before relying on reports.

2

Reconcile holdings

Enter current holdings. Gainz compares declared holdings to imported buys, sells, sends, receives, and lots.

3

Reconcile gaps

Gainz applies FIFO automatically to supported earlier lots. Review only the quantity that still lacks basis.

4

Review tax evidence

Scan by reference, confirm filed totals, and keep prior-year evidence separate from calculations.

5

Finish the packet

Select a treatment, review its exact impact, apply it only with support, then preview and export the packet.

Outputs

What the packet gives you.

CPA orientation

`FOR_CPAS.md` and `CPA_HANDOFF.md` explain status, review order, and taxpayer questions.

Status and blockers

`PACKET_STATUS.md` and the work order list unresolved issues instead of hiding them.

Evidence manifest

Copied files, reference-only evidence, missing paths, sizes, and hashes are itemized.

Generated reports

Workbook, Form 8949-style CSVs, holdings reconciliation, import warnings, and tax evidence inventory.
