Binance Tax Export Guide — 2026

Binance is the largest crypto exchange globally by trading volume. US users access Binance.US (separate, smaller platform). For non-US users, Binance.com is the main option. Tax export is robust and integrates with all major tax software.

Binance at a glance

  • Jurisdiction: Global except US (US users → Binance.US, separate platform)
  • Export options: CSV (transaction history), API key (read-only), Tax API for Koinly/CoinLedger

Step-by-step export

  1. Sign in to Binance.com (or Binance.US) at binance.com
  2. Profile → Wallet → Transaction History → Export
  3. Select date range (full year for tax purposes)
  4. Choose CSV format — Spot, Margin, Futures, Earn, NFT all separate
  5. Download each category — yes, you may end up with 5+ CSVs
  6. For automated: API → Manage API → Create read-only API key → paste into Koinly or CoinLedger

Caveats & notes

Multiple CSVs needed: Binance separates Spot, Margin, Futures, Funding, Convert, Earn, NFT, P2P. For complete records, download all of them. This is one of the most complex exchanges to fully reconcile.

API access for tax tools: Binance Tax API available — Koinly, CoinLedger, CoinTracking all support direct connection. Recommended over CSV for accuracy.

Binance.US vs Binance.com: Different platforms, different account systems. US users typically have Binance.US account; international users have Binance.com.

Futures and margin: Profits from futures trading on Binance are typically ordinary income (or BIC in France) rather than capital gains. Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction.

Country bans: Binance has been banned or restricted in several countries (Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Singapore retail). Check your jurisdiction.

FAQ

How do I export Binance transaction history for tax?

Wallet → Transaction History → Export. Download CSVs for each product type (Spot, Margin, Futures, Earn, NFT). Better yet, use API integration with Koinly or CoinLedger for automated sync.

Does Binance issue 1099 forms?

Binance.com (international): No formal tax forms. Binance.US: 1099-DA for tax year 2025+, plus 1099-MISC for staking/earn rewards over $600.

Are Binance futures profits capital gains or ordinary income?

Depends on jurisdiction. US: typically ordinary income (Section 1256 contracts get 60/40 LT/ST treatment for some futures). UK: capital gains for retail. France: BIC for active traders, otherwise PFU.

Skip the manual export — use API integration

Koinly and CoinLedger both connect to Binance via API. Setup takes 5 minutes; afterwards every new transaction syncs automatically. No more remembering to download CSVs at year-end.
