Trust Wallet (i.e., Ethereum wallet) is a free non-custodial mobile wallet that can be used to buy, store, send, and receive cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It is considered a “hot” wallet because it is always directly connected to the internet. The app is very convenient and is available for both iOS and Android. While Trust Wallet is the official decentralized wallet of Binance, it is also fully compatible with dozens of other blockchains and supports over 1 million different cryptocurrencies.
Trust Wallet serves as a central hub for many activities on the blockchain. Users can easily swap one cryptocurrency for another, buy crypto with a credit card, store crypto on the blockchain, stake existing crypto to earn rewards, or collect NFTs using Trust wallet’s DApp browser. And if you use Trust Wallet exclusively, all your blockchain transaction history will be available in one place.
Does Trust Wallet Report to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service)?
The simple answer is that Trust Wallet does not currently report user information or activity to the IRS. While this sounds like great news on the surface, there are some downsides to it as well. On one hand, users can feel secure knowing that their information remains private. However, it also means that the responsibility to report income to the government falls squarely on the user. And unfortunately, Trust Wallet does not provide much information to users about their previous blockchain activity. As a result, each Trust wallet user must take it upon themselves to track their own activity for tax reporting purposes.
Will Trust Wallet Send Me a 1099 Form?
Trust Wallet does not provide any tax forms to its users. This means that you will not be receiving a 1099 form from Trust Wallet—or any other tax-related paperwork, for that matter. As a result, you will have to gather a complete history of your Trust Wallet transactions in order to calculate and file your taxes. While there are easier methods of tracking your activities for tax purposes (more discussion on that later), let’s run through the process of extracting your transaction history from Trust Wallet so that you know exactly what’s involved in the process.
How to Download Transaction History from Trust Wallet in 7 Steps
In order to prepare your taxes, you first need to access your transaction history on Trust Wallet. The process is not very intuitive, so let’s break it down step-by-step:
1. Open your Trust Wallet App
Find the Trust Wallet App on your smartphone and click the icon.
Why is My Trust Wallet Transaction History Not Showing?
Although Trust Wallet is an easy and reliable app to use, there are occasionally situations where a user’s transaction history is missing. Typically, this results from unintentional user errors or temporary bugs in new software updates.
The average blockchain user has multiple wallet accounts, making it easy to mistakenly import the wrong wallet into Trust Wallet. Additionally, users sometimes use the wrong recovery phrase when trying to recover a wallet. It’s important to remember that each recovery phrase has its own unique wallet address.
If you run into a situation where your Trust Wallet transaction history is not showing up, the first thing you will want to do is make sure that you have imported the correct wallet and that you have used the right recovery phrase when trying to recover a wallet.

Yes.In the United States, your transactions on Trust Wallet and other platforms are subject to income and capital gains tax. If you've earned or disposed of crypto (ex. Sold or traded away cryptocurrency) during the year, you'll have a tax liability to report to the IRS.
Yes, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be traced. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger, making them accessible to anyone, including government agencies. Centralized exchanges provide customer data, such as wallet addresses and personal information, to the IRS.
More recently crypto exchanges must issue 1099-K and 1099-B forms if you have more than $20,000 in proceeds and 200 or more transactions on an exchange the exchange needs to submit that information to the IRS.
For example, an investor who held a digital asset as a capital asset and sold, exchanged or transferred it during 2023 must use Form 8949, Sales and other Dispositions of Capital Assets, to figure their capital gain or loss on the transaction and then report it on Schedule D (Form 1040), Capital Gains and Losses.
Will the IRS audit you for crypto? Yes. If the IRS has reason to believe that you are underreporting your crypto taxes, it is possible that they will initiate an audit or send you a warning letter about your unpaid tax liability.
Trust Wallet taxes are filed like other crypto taxes. The IRS requires that taxpayers report cryptocurrency transactions and income on their tax returns using Form 8949 and Schedule D for capital gains and losses, in addition to crypto income.
This data is protected by using multiple security measures and is never shared with outside parties except for the ones that Trust Wallet trusts. As users do not need any personal ID for downloading Trust Wallet, it is anonymous, too.
Here's what you need to know: Blockchain transactions are recorded on a public, distributed ledger. This makes all transactions open to the public - and any interested government agency. Centralized crypto exchanges share customer data - including wallet addresses and personal data - with the IRS and other agencies.
Based on that theory, absent any ill intent or other factors that would allow creditors (including the IRS) to access trust assets, those assets may be protected from a beneficiary's creditors. As stated above, the IRS has broader collection rights than most creditors.
Trust Wallet doesn't directly withdraw to fiat currency or link to your bank. However, you can transfer your crypto to Coinbase and convert it to fiat there.
However, due to the nature of blockchain transactions, stolen funds are hard to trace and unlikely to be recovered. Once transactions are confirmed on the blockchain, they are irreversible. As Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, it doesn't hold users' private keys and doesn't have access to their funds.
Account-related documents are easily accessible on Stake. In the app, simply go to More > Tax & documents.On desktop, click Menu (top right icon) > Tax & documents > Account summary report (located under Tax & documents).
Key Takeaways. Funds received from a trust are subject to different taxation than funds from ordinary investment accounts. Trust beneficiaries must pay taxes on income and other distributions from a trust. Trust beneficiaries don't have to pay taxes on returned principal from the trust's assets.
