We use the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) accounting method to compute profits and losses.
Your trading activity information, segmented by year, is updated monthly. The Profit and Loss (PnL) figure includes fees and any rebates. Note that a mid-month Profit and Loss review may not reflect the latest data, as updates occur on the first morning of each month.
This information and the information included in the Profit and Loss statement are not tax advice, and Kalshi cannot give members advice on their taxes. It is intended as a tool to assist members, but as always, each member should consult with a tax professional for any questions and is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all returns.
Some tax forms will be delivered electronically - check your email for a delivery from Zenwork, our tax form provider.
You can find this tax documentation in the Account tab under the Tax Info page.
