Reporting Your Kucoin Taxes with Awaken

KuCoin is a popular global crypto exchange offering a wide range of trading pairs, margin trading, and crypto derivatives. If you’ve been actively trading on KuCoin, it’s important to track those transactions accurately for tax reporting.

Awaken makes reporting your Kucoin taxes simple. All you need to do is upload a CSC of your Kucoin transaction history, and we handle the calculations for you! This guide will take you through each step of the process from start to finish.

📄 Step-by-Step: Uploading Your KuCoin Transaction History to Awaken

The first step is to download your trading data from KuCoin as a CSV.

To export your transaction history:

Log into your KuCoin account
Hover over your profile icon in the top right
Click “Orders” > “Spot Orders” (or go to “Futures Orders” if relevant)
Click “Export to CSV” in the top-right corner of the orders table
Choose the date range and confirm the export
Wait for the file to generate and download it when ready

Next, upload your Kucoin CSV to Awaken:

Click on Accounts
Select Add Account
Choose Upload CSV
Drag in your formatted KuCoin file

Awaken will automatically process your transactions, applies labels, and gets your tax reports ready.

🔗 Connect Your Other Wallets and Exchanges Too

To generate a complete and accurate tax report, don’t forget to connect all the other wallets and exchanges you’ve used in addition to KuCoin.

🌍 Tax Reporting Varies by Country

How KuCoin trades are taxed depends on your jurisdiction. Some countries treat crypto trades as capital gains, others as income — and treatment of derivatives or staking rewards may differ.

🕵️ Does KuCoin Report My Transactions to the IRS?

Currently, KuCoin is not licensed to operate in the United States, and therefore does not report user activity directly to the IRS. Kucoin is based in the Seychelles, and most US citizens no longer have access to trade on Kucoin. However:

If you are a US citizen who does have access, your trading activity is still subject to tax obligations
If you traded on Kucoin in prior years when it was available in the US, you still need to upload that transaction history to Awaken in order for us to accurately report your taxes for the current year

It’s still your responsibility to report trades and gains accurately, and Awaken helps you do just that.

Final Thoughts

While KuCoin doesn’t offer direct integration with Awaken (yet), uploading a properly formatted CSV file is quick and effective. By tracking your full trade history, Awaken can generate complete, audit-ready tax reports for all your KuCoin activity.
