Close your Webull account - step by step
Selling holdings can trigger taxes - consider transferring

If you have gains in a taxable Webull account, selling everything to close it creates a taxable event. Transferring your positions to another broker via ACATS avoids selling. Decide based on your tax situation.

Webull account closure process

Webull requires your account to have zero positions and zero cash balance before closing. Sell or transfer all holdings, withdraw your cash, then request closure through the app's customer service. Critically, download your tax documents (1099 forms) and statements first - you will need them at tax time and lose access once the account closes.
