Wow, Dawn — amazing. You’re the best. It works. Thanks!
One comment: it felt a bit unexpected to answer “No” to intent to earn money, since staking is literally a way to earn rewards on cryptocurrency that can later be converted to cash. Maybe something for your programmers to think about improving.
Since you were so helpful with that, I have a related crypto question.
I also have a 1099-DA from Coinbase. Even though cost basis is not reported to the IRS, it is included on my 1099-DA, and I entered all transactions (only four) using the Step-by-Step desktop interface. No cost basis adjustments.
As expected, Schedule D, Forms 8949, and Form 8453 were generated. TurboTax indicates that I must mail Forms 8949 and 8453 even though I am e-filing.
This raises a couple of questions:
1. Why are these forms generated but not transmitted with e-filing?
2. I was under the impression that if there are no cost basis adjustments, no additional mailing is required since all information is already included.
So, in my case, is there a way to avoid mailing anything?
If not, what exactly must be mailed: just Forms 8949 and 8453, or those forms plus the actual 1099-DA?
Thanks again for your knowledge and help.
