Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Alright. I was able to trick Turbotax Desktop (download) version into importing lots of crypto Capital gains/loses transactions without using the Online version.
I did this for Crypto.com transactions, but it works for any institution. Excel or any spreadsheet software will be needed to prepare the data. This is how I did it:
1) Created a .csv file with all transactions using the format shown at http://www.easytxf.com/upload#create
2) Once the .csv file is ready (in my case with dozens of buy/sell transactions for 2021), used http://www.easytxf.com/upload#create to convert the .csv file into .txf file
3) Imported .txf file into Turbotax Desktop: File --> Import --> From Accounting Software --> Select Other Financial Software (TXF) file --> Browse .txf file and Import now
4) Done. A 1099-B with all Crypto transactions is now created. This entry can now be edited to include the account details (In my case I named it Crypto.com) . Each transaction can be edited as well.
Although this is not a one click method, It saved me from having to enter 80 or so transactions one at the time. Also I did not need to create a parallel filing into the online version, which kind of defeats the purpose of using the desktop version if one does not want personal tax information flying through the internet.
To report crypto Income (rewards, interest, etc) I just used the total amount for the year and entered into Miscellaneous Income as "Other Reportable Income" as recommended in this forum in a previous post. This was quick as it is just one entry.
