Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@covertrain is correct. 

 

You can use the cryptocurrency import and other features with the TurboTax Online Premier and Self-employed versions, only.  

 

One option is to start a free tax return in TurboTax Premier Online. You don't pay for the return until you file it, so you won't have to pay the Online fee.  Enter (import) your cryptocurrency information in the Crypto section, and then save the .tax file (not PDF).  You can then open the tax file in TurboTax desktop, add the rest of your tax data and file.

 

 

The problem is that the IRS expects each transaction looked at in case any of the transactions were losses due to personal use, such as lunch at Starbucks or payments towards bills, etc.

  • Losses on use of personal property should not be included on your return.
  • However. all the gains are included along with any transactions that were investment related.

One option is to do this outside of TurboTax and only enter the total lines for short term and long term transactions that do qualify to be reported. Please see the TurboTax FAQ: How do I enter a large number of stock transactions in TurboTax Online?
