Frequently Asked Questions about Filing Crypto Taxes using Binance

Does Binance Report to the IRS?

Binance does not report any crypto asset to the IRS. However, Binance.US does report to the IRS.

It is also important to note that Binance has a separate website for the traders based in the U.S. It’s called Binance.US.

If you receive a crypto income of more than $600, Binance.US will send Form 1099-MISC to report your taxes.

Do We Need to Report Binance Trading on FBAR?

Before 2020, if you had an income above a threshold defined by FBAR, you would have to declare your income on FBAR.

Since Binance does not hold any significance for the U.S. traders now, you report your income under Form 1099-MISC if it exceeds $600 on Binance.US.

Which Cryptocurrency Tax Software Should I Use to Integrate with Binance?

Some of the popular software are as follows:

Koinly
ZenLedger
CoinTracking
CoinLedger

We have also written a detailed article explaining all cryptocurrency accounting software.

How Will my Cryptocurrencies be Taxed on Binance.US?

They will be taxed similar to the routine rules by the IRS. There are no special rules for the Binance.US exchange. The IRS takes cryptocurrencies as a commodity.

You will be taxed on capital gains and any income you receive from mining, staking, or any other source.

Can Binance Provide my Crypto Data for Taxation?

Yes and no! Yes, if you only trade cryptocurrency on Binance. No, if you trade cryptocurrency on other platforms as well. For example, if you trade crypto on Coinbase, you cannot extract data using Binance.

Turn around time was amazing on the project I needed done. When you don’t understand all the different forms communication is key and you will get that here. They are there to explain what and why you need it.

I usually don't write reviews much as everyone has different experiences, but definitely wanted to share the positive experience I have had here and why I would recommend them to all my family, friends and co-workers.I got a referral for here from a friend, so thought of giving them a try over my old CPA firm. I have been going here for a couple years now and have to say they are top notch. They are always responsive and willing to work with me even when I am delayed. I generally like to ask a lot of questions and not once did I feel like they were annoyed by it and would very thoroughly and positively answer all my concerns with detail explanations. Even during the pandemic, they worked with me 100% virtual and it was seamless. Overall, I am very happy with this firm and will continue with them for the foreseeable future.

I’ve been going to them for 3 years now for multiple of my businesses. I changed to them after I had problems with my previous CPA firm and I’m so glad I did! Best decision I ever made for my businesses. They have saved me thousands of dollars over the years as well as deal with my immensely complicated tax filling issues. No matter when I call, they always help answer all my questions (and trust me I have a lot) and put my mind at ease on all my concerns. I feel as if I am family the way they take care of me. The quality of their work has not changed; very consistent and professional. It is an understatement when I say I highly recommend them.

We contacted Akif with an urgent matter regarding corporate taxes. Akif immediately understood what was needed and within days had everything ready to sign. The level of service we received was amazing and unmatched. Waqar expertise in trucking industry made our situation seamless. His communication was outstanding; I heard from him daily and could have been completed sooner if I was as fast as he was 😃 Highly recommended!

Me and my husband have been getting all of our personal Taxes, business Taxes, monthly bookkeeping, accounting and payroll done with AKIF CPA. Recently, we had more stuff come up and had detailed analysis done on capital gains, single family rentals (SFR) and business disposition. You will only know how great this CPA company is until you have worked with them and given them a chance. Words can’t describe our experience. AKIF CPA gets the job done every time - very reliable, professional and affordable.

Very good experience, we had unique situation in regards to cross border income as Canadians currently residing in the US. Income on both sides of the border through completely different channels. Everything was very easy and completed timely, I also had lots of random questions and Mohammad provided top notch service along the way and even after we finished our taxes!! Highly recommended.

I moved to the USA from Canada late 2018 as part of a promotion/relocation for work. For my 2019 returns, I used an accounting firm recommended by the local Canadian social club in my city, which was a terrible experience. They were slow to respond to inquiries and would follow up in piecemeal requests which dragged out my return process over several months, often asking for information I had already provided.For the price I paid, I vowed to find better service. I found Mohammad online and decided to reach out. Mohammad was extremely responsive, took care of my US and Canadian returns as well as my wife's business returns in a timely manner. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would recommend him to another in my situation.

I relocated to Texas from Alberta, Canada and needed a CPA to help me with my cross-border taxes as I was not happy with the CPA that I used previously. During my interviewing process to find another CPA, I had good feedback from Mohammad as he was able to answer my questions regarding my unique tax situation with expertise, and importantly to me, in a timely manner. I decided to use his services for the current tax year and I have nothing but compliments for the work Mohammad provided. If you are in need of a professional cross-border CPA, I highly recommend reaching out to Mohammad Akif.
