Common issues with importing transactions from Binance US

The Binance US API comes with limitations on the data shared. It may not include fiat purchases. If you’ve used the API integration method and noticed some discrepancies in your data, you should remove the integration. 

Importing data via CSV is a better option for most traders because it will contain all transactions including fiat currency trades. Since the API and CSV import options in Binance US are not synced, you should avoid using both at the same time to avoid duplication. First, delete the existing data within the tax report tool before importing the CSV file.
