Binance is the world’s most popular cryptocurrency exchange platform with the largest daily crypto trading volume. It also offers a reliable crypto wallet where traders can store their cryptocurrency funds. The platform offers a relatively secure and versatile way for investors to maximize their profits. 

How does Binance tax reporting work?

Binance is one of the most in-demand cryptocurrency exchanges out there, but it doesn't do much to help you handle your crypto taxes. Luckily, there's Accointing, which allows you to connect with Binance and do your taxes with ease. 

Accointing’s Binance calculator and portfolio tracker can help you analyze your trading data including deposits, withdrawals, and trades. Consequently, you can generate your tax report for a required period as per your country’s specified format.  

To get started, you have to link your Binance account or import transaction history into Accointing through the following methods:

• API – Automatically connect and sync your Binance account with Accointing
• CSV – Download your Binance transaction history in CSV format and upload it into Accointing
• Accointing template – Fill out our simple template with your Binance account data and upload it into Accointing

How to review and track your Binance transactions in Accointing

2. Choose applicable start and end dates to view and analyze your Binance performance history, profits, and losses.
3. View the various crypto assets, and click to analyze the buy and sell dates. Accointing allows you to choose multiple assets at a go to compare data for chosen dates.

Common issues with importing transactions from Binance 

Despite Binance being a popular platform, downloading CSV files has its challenges. The exchange only allows a maximum download of one-year history data at a go. You’ll have to do multiple downloads for more than a year. 

Binance also requires you to have enabled and completed the KYC before linking with an API. Also, the data supplied by the Binance API may make it harder for Accointing to generate comprehensive tax reports. If you notice the challenge, you can try using the CSV option, which gives more accuracy.
