2. i tried using online tt so i can import my crypto trades but then it gets hung up trying to upload my TT tax2020 file. The error you made was not transferring the prior year info FIRST. Delete the imports and start the return again.
3. TT cust support says tax2020 won’t upload bcz i did NOT submit/file my tax2020 taxes online-i missed the online filing deadline so had to send returns via snail mail. If you used any of the TT programs for 2020 (even if you did not efile the return) you can still transfer the .tax2020 file into the online 2021 program ... follow the screen instructions when you start a new return.
4. QUESTION: can i just file my TT tax2021 online w a crypto net gain/or loss entry AND THEN SNAIL MAIL my individual crypto trades in just a CSV printout? Yes ... you can enter a summary in the program then send the detailed report by mail ... again follow the screen instructions when you indicate you will use this option.
5. if i can do what i described in bullet #4. will this delay my refund until the IRS rcvs my snail mailed crypto trades in a CSV printout? No it will not delay the process of the efiled return.
6. how i even send a hard copy? just a cover letter or? If you indicate you will use the summary entry option then you will attach the form 8949 like detail with the form 8453 that will be provided in the filing instructions ... save a PDF with the worksheets and carefully read the screen instructions in the interview.
