Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Most investors will enter their transactions in summary form and mail Form 8453 within three days of e-filing rather than enter the transactions individually when they are approaching the known maximums per brokerage.

 

You may have started to log in to Vanguard, a TurboTax Partner, but if the cache & cookies on your computer window browser are not cleared, you may end up back at the regular TurboTax Online site or otherwise experience unexpected results.

  • Log out of all Intuit accounts.
  • Clear the cache & delete the cookies .
  • Close the browser completely. 
  • Open an Incognito Chrome browser.
  • Then, go to the Vanguard website or email to access the link. 
  • Use the link to the discount portal. Do not choose a product. Click on the Sign in link

Otherwise, see: How many stock transactions can TurboTax Online handle?

 

To import a spreadsheet instead: 

For the upload extension in TurboTax Online, use .CSV, and in TurboTax CD/Download, use .TXF. 

 

Before uploading, it is best to re-sort the columns to match TurboTax.  From left to right, title your columns: 

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

If you are reporting cryptocurrency, for more information, see: Uploading Cryptocurrency in TurboTax Using Aggregator Services.
