The only file format that TurboTax will import is .TXF, but you don't have to import all the transactions. You can make summary entries in TurboTax, and attach a statement to your tax return giving the details of the transactions. You can create the statement from whatever file you have.

If you're e-filing, you only need to mail copies of your 8949 along with Form 8453 if:

  • You entered a summary for one or more sales categories (instead of each individual sale); AND
  • The sales category for one or more summaries is something other than Box A (short-term covered) or Box D (long-term covered); or
  • The Box A and/or Box D summary includes adjustments (typically listed in boxes 1f or 1g on your broker statement).
