Doing taxes should be as easy as buying crypto.

Learn how you can access our reporting tool and even file with your preferred third party tax reporting program. 

At Binance, we’re always focused on delivering a better experience for our users. In jurisdictions where there’s increasing clarity on crypto regulations, many users care about reporting their crypto tax accurately and compliantly.
