Amend to change answer to digital asset question

[vtax24]

Hi all,

Accidentally answered incorrectly on the yes/no digital asset question. I began the amendment process in the turbotax portal but this question was nowhere to be found. 

I spoke with a representative over the phone who told me to go through every single income/deduction/etc. module to try to find it. I still could not locate it.

How on earth can I make this very simple update? 

Thanks in advance.

After you finish entering details of income click on continue.

• Did either of you receive a distribution for a natural disaster from 2019-2022? say yes or no Continue
• In the next screen it will ask you
• Did you acquire, sell, or exchange any virtual currency in 2023?
• Change your answer to yes Continue

I did that but was not prompted for the question, even after I continued through the advertisements to upgrade my turbotax membership.

Maybe that would have worked before I actually filed my return. I'm trying to do this through the amendment portal.

If you had sales of digital assets you can amend to include those transactions on your tax return.

There are three ways to enter your crypto in TurboTax:

• Import your info directly from your crypto source (this is what we recommend, though it's not available for TurboTax CD/Download)
• Upload a CSV file of your crypto transactions
• Enter your transactions manually

I need to change my answer to "No"- I didn't have any sale of digital assets nor did I receive any digital assets. 

I'm looking for the yes or no question.

You don't need to Amend your Return to change the answer to the digital assets question.

If you didn't buy, sell or exchange any digital assets, your return will be unchanged from your original filing.

I have not file my taxes yet. Unfortunately, it asks:

Did you own or control a foreign bank acount...?
Did you take a disaster distribution...?

From there is continues to "Bob, Here's a picture of your 2023 income..."

It does not ask about digital assets again. And uploading a CSV from a supported crypto exchange did not change the answer. When I print the tax return ithe No box is still checked, but I want the "yes" box to be checked.

Reporting cryptocurrency income under Investment Income in TurboTax does not change the answer from No to Yes. Follow the instructions below to review your answers to several questions, including digital assets:

In TurboTax Online:

1. Down the left side of the screen, select Wages & Income.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Continue.
3. Continue through several screens until you reach the screen Did you have a financial stake in a digital asset?

In TurboTax for Desktop:

1. Go to Federal Taxes >> Wages & Income
2. Scroll to the bottom and click "Done with income."
3. Continue through the questions about foreign accounts and disaster distributions.
4. The next page asks about digital assets.
