Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your IRS form 1099-DA reports gross proceeds, the digital asset, the number of units and the number of transactions.

 

The gain/loss report will allow you to allocate the $92,744.68 in gross proceeds to the ten transactions.  Each transaction will be assigned to long-term and short-term based upon the date of sale and date of purchase.

 

The gain/loss report will allow you to assign the cost basis of the investment sold for each of the ten transactions.

 

You would be able to report each of the ten transactions (which would total $92,744.68) into TurboTax using the one-by-one method.  Or you would be able to report the summary transactions (which would total $92,744.68) into TurboTax using the sales section totals. 

 

You may enter the summary information instead of each individual transaction.  Create a .PDF of the IRS form 1099-B and your analysis of the gain/loss report to upload into TurboTax Online.  Follow these steps.
