After you file
Coinbase will give you a CSV file of your activity, but probably in the wrong format.
I don't know what the others will do.
If TurboTax won't accept your CSV file, proceed as follows.
Adjust your csv files so the columns are titled and in the same order as on Form 8949.
Put a header with your name tax year and SS Number
Use the summary option and then you can mail in the printout of the CSV files.
See the TurboTax instructions that will pop up.
You would use Category C and/or F since you don't have a 1099-B.
At tax time, you have the option to summarize your transactions by Sales Category.
IRS requires category C/F details to be listed on your own Form 8949,
or on your other forms (e.g. spreadsheets) which have the same information and in the same manner as Form 8949.
Either way, if you choose to summarize, you have to mail the transaction details to the IRS within three business days of IRS accepting your e-Filed tax return.

If you are unable to reconstruct your 2021 activity details by April 2022, you can summarize and then "forget" to mail the details.
IRS is so bogged down now with the COVID backlog, they probably won't make an issue of it. Just my opinion.
