How to export your Binance trade history for taxes in 2026?

Accessing Your Binance Account Trade Records

1. Log in to your Binance account using verified credentials and two-factor authentication. Ensure you are on the official Binance domain to avoid phishing risks.

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

3. Choose Spot Wallet or Futures Wallet depending on the trading activity you wish to export—each requires separate export steps.

4. Click on Transaction History, then locate the filter options for date range, asset type, and transaction category.

5. Set the start and end dates precisely to cover the full 2026 calendar year—Binance defaults to 90-day windows unless manually adjusted.

Exporting Spot and Margin Trade Data

1. Under Spot Wallet, go to Trade History and click the Export button located at the top-right of the table.

2. Select “All” under Order Type if you need both filled and partially filled orders—cancelled orders are excluded by default but may be retrieved via API.

3. Choose CSV as the file format; Binance does not support Excel (.xlsx) exports directly from the UI for trade history.

4. Confirm the date range again before initiating download—exports exceeding 100,000 rows may time out and require segmented requests.

5. Save the file with a descriptive name such as “Binance_Spot_2026_Jan_Dec.csv” to maintain audit trail clarity.

Retrieving Futures and Options Transaction Logs

1. Switch to the Futures section using the navigation bar, then open Account Overview.

2. Click Funding History and Trade History separately—these are distinct datasets and must be exported individually.

3. For each tab, use the date picker to select January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, and click Export.

4. Note that futures settlement records, position closures, and liquidation events appear only in the Trade History export—not in Funding History.

5. Avoid relying solely on the “Download All” option in Futures—it may omit margin transfers between wallets unless explicitly selected in filters.

Handling API-Based Exports for Advanced Users

1. Enable API access in API Management with IP whitelisting and withdrawal permissions disabled for security.

2. Use the GET /sapi/v1/asset/transfer endpoint to pull cross-wallet transfers, which impact cost basis calculations.

3. Call GET /api/v3/myTrades with timestamp parameters to fetch trades beyond the UI’s 90-day limit—requires proper signature generation.

4. Integrate timestamps in milliseconds and handle pagination manually, as Binance returns only 1,000 results per request.

5. Store raw JSON responses alongside CSV exports to reconcile discrepancies during tax preparation audits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Binance provide pre-formatted tax reports for 2026?A: No. Binance does not generate IRS Form 8949, Schedule D, or country-specific tax summaries. Users must process raw exports using third-party tools or manual reconciliation.

Q: Are P2P trades included in the standard Spot Wallet export?A: No. P2P transaction records reside under P2P Trading > Order History and require a separate export—these lack fee breakdowns and counterparty details needed for capital gains reporting.

Q: What happens if I traded on Binance.US instead of Binance.com in 2026?A: Binance.US maintains an independent interface and data infrastructure. Its export flow mirrors Binance.com but enforces stricter KYC validation before granting access to historical downloads.

Q: Can I retrieve trade data after deleting my Binance account in 2026?A: No. Once account deletion is confirmed, all associated trade logs, order books, and wallet histories are permanently purged from Binance’s systems within 30 days.
