Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Another option is to convert the data into a .CSV file and upload it. If necessary, re-order the columns TurboTax 

 

There are several compatible aggregators that can be used to help with the import:

Only one .csv file can be uploaded at a time. 

 

In general, the .csv file should be provided via download from your cryptocurrency platform.

It is best to upload the .csv file to your desktop first. Then, save a new copy to change the columns if necessary to match TurboTax before importing.

 

The columns should be: 

  • Service name (examples: Coinbase)
  • Asset name (examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum)
  • Date of purchase
  • Cost basis
  • Date of sale
  • Sale proceeds

Once you have edited the .CSV file to match this format, return to TurboTax.

 

Inside TurboTax Online from the search box, enter cryptocurrency. Select the Jump to link in the search results and follow the prompts.

  • At Let's get your cryptocurrency info, select any of the tiles and Continue.
    • You must select one of the tiles in order to get to the upload screen. Otherwise, enter each transaction individually.
  • At Let's add your cryptocurrency transactions, drag and drop your CSV file.

However, if you are mining cryptocurrency, then report this as self-employed income.
