To export your KuCoin history for taxes, sign in on the website, open the Order Center and click Export. Create one export for each data type you used (spot, margin, convert, deposits and withdrawals, fiat), one year at a time. When KuCoin notifies you, download the files from Recent Exports. KuCoin allows 20 reports per month and keeps each download link for 30 days.
Before you start
- Website only. KuCoin's help article describes the export on the website; use a computer or a desktop browser.
- Which KuCoin are you on? KuCoin runs regional platforms, such as KuCoin EU for the European Economic Area, with their own help pages. The steps below are from the global KuCoin help center.
- Plan your 20 reports. Every data type and every year is a separate report, so count before you start. Five data types over four years is already 20.
Step by step: export from the Order Center
These steps follow KuCoin's help article "How to Export Trade History on KuCoin" (updated July 2026).
- Sign in at kucoin.com and open the Order Center.
- Click Export.
- Select the data type: spot orders, margin orders, convert orders, deposit/withdrawal records or fiat records.
- For spot history, choose the market (all markets), the time range (up to one year) and the time zone. On a master account, you can include sub-account trades.
- Click Confirm.
- Wait for the SMS, email or on-site message that says the file is ready.
- Go to Orders > Export > Recent Exports and click Download.
- Repeat for every data type and every year you need.
Limits to know
| Item | What KuCoin's help page says |
|---|---|
| Data types | Deposits/withdrawals, spot orders, margin orders, convert orders, fiat records |
| Formats | .xlsx, .csv or .pdf |
| Range per export | Up to 1 year |
| How far back | Data from September 16, 2017 |
| Monthly quota | 20 reports per user |
| Download link | Valid for 30 days |
| What is included | Only filled or partially filled orders |
| Missing data | Contact KuCoin customer service |
Choose .csv for tax software. If you downloaded .xlsx by mistake, KuCoin says you can convert it yourself, but a fresh CSV export is safer because spreadsheet apps can reformat dates and long numbers.
Which files your tax report needs
| You used | Export |
|---|---|
| Spot trading | Spot orders |
| Convert (one-click swaps) | Convert orders: these are trades too, and taxable disposals in most countries |
| Margin | Margin orders |
| Deposits from and withdrawals to other wallets | Deposit/withdrawal records, to match transfers |
| Buying with a card or bank transfer | Fiat records: often your first purchases and your cost basis |
| Futures, Earn, trading bots | Check the Export window for these products; if they are not listed, ask KuCoin support for the records |
The last row matters. KuCoin's help article lists five data types; if you also used futures, Earn products or bots, confirm their history is in your files before you calculate anything.
Use the API instead
Many tax tools connect to KuCoin by API key. Create a key with read-only (General) permission, never trading or withdrawals, and protect it with a passphrase. Do not import the same period both by API and CSV.
Check the files before you upload
- Every year since 2017, or since you joined. Each file covers a year at most; line them up without gaps.
- Same time zone in every file. KuCoin asks you to choose one for each export.
- Convert orders included. People often export spot trades and forget converts.
- Deposits match. Coins that arrived from another exchange or wallet need their purchase history from there.
- Closing balances. After import, each coin's balance in your software should match KuCoin.
What KuCoin does not do for you
KuCoin gives you raw records. It does not calculate gains under your country's rules, and it cannot know what you paid for coins you deposited. KuCoin's own tax reporting page points users to third-party crypto tax software for that step.
Turn the export into a tax report
With one or two years of spot trades, you can work in a spreadsheet. Add converts, margin, deposits from Binance or a wallet like MetaMask, and software saves you from matching each transfer by hand.
FAQ
How far back can I export KuCoin history?
KuCoin's help page says exports support data from September 16, 2017, with up to one year per export.
Why is my KuCoin export missing some orders?
The export only includes filled or partially filled orders. Canceled orders never traded, so they are not needed for taxes. If a filled trade is missing, contact KuCoin customer service, as its help page advises.
Is KuCoin Convert taxable?
In most countries, yes. Converting one coin to another disposes of the first coin, which is a taxable event in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
