Do I have to pay taxes on my Binance transactions? 

Cryptocurrency is classified as property by the IRS. As a result, your cryptocurrency activity on Binance and other platforms is subject to capital gains and ordinary income tax. 

Capital gains tax: If you dispose of your crypto-assets, you’ll incur capital gains tax. Examples include selling your cryptocurrency for fiat or trading it for other cryptocurrencies. 

Ordinary income tax: If you earn cryptocurrency, you’ll recognize ordinary income. Examples include earning referral or interest rewards.

Does Binance report to the IRS? 

At this time, Binance.com is not operating within the United States and as a result, Binance.com does not report to the IRS. 

American cryptocurrency users that want to access Binance can instead use Binance’s partner company, Binance.US.

Does Binance.US report to the IRS? 

Binance.US does collect Know Your Customer information at signup and likely reports customer information to the IRS upon request. 

When a customer earns more than $600 through staking, referrals, and other income-generating activities, Binance.US issues a Form 1099-MISC and files an identical copy with the IRS.

This form provides information about ‘miscellaneous income’ and does not include information about capital gains and losses from disposals, which is needed to accurately report your taxes. 

Starting in tax year 2025, Binance.US and other exchanges operating in the United States will be required to issue Form 1099-DA detailing all capital gains and losses from cryptocurrency.
