@AshleyLO , in this thread, KathrynG3's provided step-by-step instructions regarding entering crypto transactions and she then said, "Mail in the pages along with Form 8453 with the Form 8949 box checked", and "Form 8453 can be found in Open Forms and printed to include with the hard copy details of your transactions."
From many posts, it seems the online version of TT easily handle crypto transactions, but you have to employ a workaround to enter crypto transactions in the downloaded version of TT. Therefore, I interpreted KathrynG3's instructions to mean forms would have to be mailed in if including crypto transactions in the downloaded version of TT.
It's baffling why the two versions are so different. I don't understand why the TT download users can't access an online module to handle crypto transactions and then incorporate the resulting data/forms in their tax file, similarly to how we download and incorporate w2, 1099s, etc.
