I have already filed my property taxes with my tax preparer. I just need to file my crypto now.

No. All your income needs to go on the same tax return. Did your tax preparer file your full 1040 tax return? Or what did they file for just your property tax? Check with the tax preparer. If they filed a 1040 return they need to amend it to add the crypto info.

@thetaxdestroyer Someone misunderstood. You do not file separate tax returns for different kinds of income. All of your income was supposed to be included on your original Form 1040, including any crypto. If you filed without including that income, your return will need to be amended after it has been fully processed.

It is not clear how you prepared your original return. You mention your property tax. So....did a tax preparer do a Form 1040 that itemized your deductions including your property tax? If you paid a professional tax preparer, then have that preparer do the amended return.

If you used TurboTax for your original return, you can amend it yourself.

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
