Cash App: what to export, and what the numbers leave out
Getting your Cash App 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 Cash App history
- Cash App → profile → Documents → Bitcoin
- Export the transaction CSV
- Drop it 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 Cash App
These are not hypotheticals: each one is a case our own importer handles or deliberately refuses to guess at.
Bitcoin only — everything else in your Cash App history is irrelevant to the ledger, and mixing it in creates noise that looks like missing data.
Bitcoin bought here and sent to a wallet keeps its cost basis; the wallet has no idea what you paid. That link is exactly what a rebuild reconstructs.
Small recurring buys produce many lots. Which lot you sold decides the tax — and by default that is FIFO unless the identification existed at the time.
What the reporting leaves out
Cash App issues a 1099-B for bitcoin sales. Basis is reported for coins bought in the app; coins sent in from elsewhere have none.
A 1099-B that shows proceeds with blank basis is the classic CP2000 trigger — the IRS computer treats the whole sale as profit.
This importer is drafted from Cash App'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.
