Binance: what to export, and what the numbers leave out
Getting your Binance history out takes about thirty seconds. Making it produce a defensible tax number takes more, because every platform loses something on the way — and the parts it loses are the parts your tax authority never sees either. Here is exactly what we read from this export, what routinely breaks, and what a free scan shows you before you pay anything.
Export your Binance history
- Binance → Wallet → Transaction History
- Export Transaction Records for the full period
- Drop the CSV into the free scan
Drop the file straight into the free scan — the format is detected automatically, nothing is uploaded to a third party, and unsaved scans delete themselves after seven days.
What happens when you drop it in
The format is fingerprinted from its own column headers, every row becomes a ledger entry with the source row cited beside it, and lots are rebuilt wallet by wallet. Rows we cannot price defensibly are listed as skipped with the reason — never booked at zero and never averaged away.
What breaks on Binance
These are not hypotheticals: each one is a case our own importer handles or deliberately refuses to guess at.
Amounts carry their unit inside the value — “1.5ETH”, “2250.00USDT” — and fees sometimes arrive as a bare “0”. Parsers that assume a numeric column silently drop those rows; we split unit from amount and keep the row.
Crypto-to-crypto pairs with no USD or stablecoin leg have no defensible price in the file itself. We price stablecoin legs at $1 with that assumption stated and cited, and refuse to invent a price for anything else — the row is shown as skipped, never guessed.
Binance and Binance.US are different entities with different exports and different reporting duties. Which one you traded on changes what your tax authority receives about you.
What the reporting leaves out
Exports cover trading. Earn, Launchpool and airdrops often live in separate reports, so income lines go missing from the file entirely unless you export them too.
For EU residents, DAC8 reporting starts from 2026 activity — the platform reports the disposal, never the price you paid elsewhere.
This importer is drafted from Binance's documented export format and is locked against real exports as customers supply them. Where a row does not match what we expect, the scan says so instead of quietly dropping it.

Other platforms
Every guide follows the same shape: the export, what we read, what breaks, what the reporting misses.
