Exporting Binance records for taxes and portfolio history
Why exports matter
Exchanges do not file taxes for you. Whether you trade occasionally or rebalance monthly, you need a coherent history: buys, sells, swaps, Earn income, and transfers. Good records reduce year-end panic and help you answer basic questions about realized vs unrealized P&L.
What Binance provides natively
Binance account statements and transaction history exports cover spot, futures, and Earn depending on product. Download periodically — some regions limit how far back UI exports reach. Store CSVs in encrypted cloud storage with dated filenames.
What Smitvi adds
Pro subscribers can use the Export area to:
- Download transaction CSV via read-only API sync
- View educational tax summary fields (volume, buy/sell counts, earn income estimates)
- Track cost-basis style totals for your own review
Numbers are derived from synced API data and may not match exchange reports line-for-line. Treat Smitvi exports as a co-pilot, not an official tax document.
Building a simple record system
- Monthly: export Binance + Smitvi CSV
- Label large moves (rebalance, fiat off-ramp, gift) in a spreadsheet column
- Keep wallet addresses for any on-chain transfers
- Note stablecoin depeg events if they affected conversions
India and other jurisdictions
Rules change frequently. Many Indian investors track INR conversion rates at trade time, VDA-specific disclosures, and TDS certificates where applicable. Use official government guidance and a CA familiar with crypto — our disclaimer applies to all analytics.
Privacy and security
Exports contain sensitive data. Do not email unencrypted CSVs. Revoke API keys you no longer use. Read our privacy policy for how Smitvi handles synced data.
