At tax time, you have the option to summarize your transactions by Sales Category.
IRS requires details to be listed on a Form 8949,
or on your other forms (e.g. consolidated 1099-B) which have the same information and in the same manner as Form 8949.
Either way, if you choose to summarize, you have to mail the transaction details to the IRS within three business days of IRS accepting your e-Filed tax return.(unless you have attached a PDF of the transactions details to your e-Filed return. TurboTax seems to offer this feature but has not publicized it).
Exception: if you summarize Category A or Category D, Form 8949 is not needed for transactions without adjustments. No mailing is necessary.
If you don't have a 1099-B for crypto your sales category is C or F.
There is no exception for these categories.
For active stock traders, the bottom line is you only have to mail your wash sale details to the IRS, given that they are not already listed on your e-Filed Form 8949
I don't know why TurboTax can't publish accurate information.
It would save all TurboTax users a lot time and effort.
