Does Binance US Reports to IRS?

Binance US, the American subsidiary of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, will reportedly begin reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) later this year.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Binance US will start sharing customer data with the IRS in September 2019. The move comes after the exchange received a “John Doe Summons” from the IRS earlier this year, which demanded that Binance US turn over information on all American customers who have traded on the platform since 2017.

Binance US is not the only cryptocurrency exchange that has been Targeted by the IRS. In July, it was reported that the IRS had sent out similar summonses to several other major exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Bitstamp.

NOTE: WARNING: Binance US is not currently required to report any user data to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). However, as the IRS implements new regulations and tax laws, this may change in the future. Therefore, it is important that users understand their local tax requirements and take appropriate measures to ensure compliance with applicable laws.

The news of Binance US’s impending compliance with the IRS is likely to come as a relief to many American customers of the exchange who have been worried about their privacy and whether or not their trading activity would be reported to the taxman.

It is important to note that, while Binance US will be sharing customer data with the IRS, it is not required to do so by law. The exchange has simply chosen to comply with the summons in order to avoid any potential legal troubles down the road.

So does Binance US reports to IRS? Yes, it does starting from September 2019 after it received a “John Doe Summons” demanding for customer data.
