Amazon Overhauls Date Range Transaction and Summary Reports
Effective: February 28, 2026
All sellers in US, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil who use Date Range Transaction or Summary reports for accounting or tax reconciliation
Amazon updated its Date Range Transaction and Summary reports to organize data by when transactions are posted to a seller's account, rather than when they are released for payout. Two new columns — Transaction Status and Transaction Release Date — were added. The change was applied retroactively to January 1, 2025, meaning previously downloaded reports no longer match older exports. Sellers who filed 2025 taxes or run bookkeeping against historical report data will need to re-download and reconcile.
Key Points
- Reports now organize transactions by 'posted date' rather than 'payout release date'
- Two new columns added: Transaction Status and Transaction Release Date
- Change applied retroactively to January 1, 2025 — previously downloaded reports are now outdated
- Effective for US, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil stores by February 28, 2026
- Additional marketplaces updated in March 2026
- Sellers relying on old report exports for tax filing or bookkeeping should re-download updated data
