How to find your transaction history on Binance? A guide for taxes.

Finding Your Transaction History on Binance

1. Log into your Binance account using your registered credentials and complete any required two-factor authentication steps.

2. Navigate to the top-right corner of the dashboard and click on your profile icon, then select Wallet from the dropdown menu.

3. Choose Spot Wallet or Futures Wallet, depending on where the transactions occurred—each wallet maintains separate records.

4. Click on Transaction History located in the left-side navigation panel under the selected wallet section.

5. Use the date range picker to specify the tax year period and apply filters such as asset type, transaction category (deposit, withdrawal, trade), or status.

Exporting Data for Tax Reporting

1. After adjusting filters to match your reporting timeframe, click the Export button at the top-right of the transaction table.

2. Select All Records if you need full historical data or choose Current Page Only for a limited batch.

3. Confirm the export format—Binance supports CSV and Excel formats, both widely accepted by tax software like CoinTracker and Koinly.

4. Download the file and verify that columns include timestamp, asset, transaction type, amount, fee, and USD value at time of execution.

5. Cross-check entries with blockchain explorers for on-chain withdrawals and deposits to ensure completeness before importing into tax calculation tools.

Understanding Binance’s Tax-Relevant Transaction Types

1. Spot Trades generate taxable events each time a cryptocurrency is exchanged for another or for fiat—these appear in Spot Wallet history with buy/sell labels.

2. P2P Transactions are recorded separately under the P2P section and require manual reconciliation since they involve off-platform counterparty settlements.

3. Staking Rewards appear as deposits in Spot Wallet and are generally treated as ordinary income upon receipt, with timestamps indicating accrual dates.

4. Launchpool Earnings and Gift Card Redemptions also show up as inbound deposits and must be valued in USD at the moment of receipt.

5. Margin Liquidations and Futures Settlements produce complex gain/loss calculations—Binance provides realized PnL summaries in Futures Wallet but does not auto-calculate cost basis.

Handling Missing or Inconsistent Entries

1. If trades appear missing despite correct filtering, check whether the account was created after a specific date—Binance only retains transaction logs for accounts active since 2017 unless archived manually.

2. Some older spot trades may display zero USD value due to lack of historical price integration; users must supplement these using third-party APIs or exchange rate archives.

3. Deposits made via non-standard networks (e.g., BEP-20 tokens sent to an ERC-20 address) might not register automatically—verify with internal wallet addresses and confirm network compatibility.

4. Withdrawals flagged as “processing” or “failed” can still affect tax liability if funds were debited; review the Withdrawal History tab for final status and timestamps.

5. API-based trading activity may not reflect in UI history if executed through external bots or institutional gateways—audit connected applications and revoke unused API keys to prevent unauthorized data gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Binance provide official tax reports or IRS Form 1099?A: No. Binance.US issues Form 1099-MISC for certain U.S. users meeting income thresholds, but global Binance.com does not issue any IRS forms or localized tax documents.

Q: Can I retrieve transaction history older than 90 days?A: Yes. While the default view shows recent activity, the export function allows retrieval of all available records dating back to account creation, subject to Binance’s internal retention policy.

Q: Are fees deducted during trades included in taxable gain calculations?A: Yes. Trading fees reduce the cost basis of acquired assets and increase the proceeds of disposed assets—Binance includes fee amounts in exported CSV files under dedicated columns.

Q: Do internal transfers between my own Binance wallets trigger taxable events?A: Generally no. Transfers between Spot, Margin, and Futures wallets within the same Binance account are not considered disposals under most jurisdictions, though local rules may vary.
