How to import your Robinhood history

Robinhood exports crypto, shares and your wallet as three different files. Here is which one you need.

Robinhood keeps crypto, shares and your Web3 Wallet in three separate places, and exports each one differently. Most people download the account activity report, assume it covers everything, and never notice the line at the bottom saying it excludes crypto.

Work out which of the three you need first. Most Robinhood users need at least two.

Crypto you bought and sold on Robinhood

Robinhood works out the gain on every crypto sale for you and publishes it in your tax documents. That file is the one to use, because it carries Robinhood's own record of what each coin cost you.

  1. In the Robinhood app tap Account, the person icon.
  2. Tap the menu, the three bars, then Tax center.
  3. Download the crypto form for the year you need.
  4. In Moonscape open Tax, then 1099-DA, and upload it there.

Upload it on the 1099-DA screen rather than the add a source screen. It is a statement of gains rather than a list of trades, so it has its own home.

If the year you want is not listed, ask Robinhood support in the app chat for your crypto gains report. Each file covers a single tax year, so download one per year and upload them all.

Shares, ETFs, dividends and cash

This is the full history of everything that moved through your brokerage account. Robinhood builds it on request rather than keeping one ready, so start it before you need it.

  1. Tap Account, then the menu.
  2. Tap Reports and statements, then Account activity report.
  3. Tap Generate new report.
  4. Pick the account, set the start date early enough to cover everything you have ever held, and set the end date to today.
  5. Tap Generate report.

It usually takes a couple of hours and occasionally up to a day. Robinhood notifies you when it is ready and the file appears under Reports. In Moonscape choose Add a source, pick Robinhood, and upload it.

Two things go wrong here. A start date that is too recent silently produces a partial history that still looks complete, so set it earlier than your first ever trade. And this file contains no crypto at all. Robinhood prints the reminder at the bottom of the export itself: it does not include Robinhood Crypto or Robinhood Spending activity.

The Robinhood Web3 Wallet

The Web3 Wallet is self-custody, which means the coins are yours rather than Robinhood's. There is no file to export and none of it appears in your tax documents, but swaps and spends inside it are still disposals you need to report.

  1. Open the wallet and choose the network.
  2. Tap Receive and copy the address.
  3. In Moonscape choose Add a source, pick Robinhood Web3 Wallet, and paste it in.
  4. Repeat for each network you have held coins on.

We read Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Dogecoin, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and Optimism.

Your receiving address is safe to share and is all we need. It lets us see what moved and nothing else. Never give a recovery phrase or a private key to us, or to any other tax tool.

Why there is no API option

Robinhood Crypto does publish an API, but it has no endpoint for deposits, withdrawals or transfers, so it cannot produce a complete history for tax purposes. The main brokerage has no public API at all. The file exports are the reliable route, which is why we use them.

One last thing about cost basis

Robinhood only knows what a coin cost if you bought it there. Anything you transferred in from another exchange or wallet carries a cost Robinhood never saw. Import your other accounts alongside Robinhood so the basis follows each coin wherever it went, rather than restarting when it arrived.

If your export will not load, reply to any Moonscape email and send us the file. We read every one, and if it is in a shape we have not seen we will add it.

Show us the mess — redacted is fine. You get back how many transactions we found, how many missing cost bases, how many unmatched transfers, and how many tax years are affected. Yours to keep either way.
