Get your taxes done using TurboTax

We assume when you "staked" your crypto coins you received interest in the form of new coins as a result of staking.  And yes, you would report these transactions separately in TurboTax.   We feel it is appropriate to mention (and we cannot give legal advice) that the issue of whether staking is a taxable event arguably remains unclear.  However, we also feel that it is appropriate, at least for now, to report what you received, and its value on your return.   

 

TurboTax supports CSV files uploaded from these cryptocurrency services.

  • Bitcoin.Tax
  • BitTaxer
  • Coinbase
  • CoinTracker
  • CoinLedger
  • Robinhood
  • TokenTax
  • ZenLedger
