If you sold stock or Bitcoin you must report the transactions on your Tax return.  

The Form 1099B if entered accurately into TurboTax will provide necessary information for computing your taxable transactions.  You will have to provide the cost basis of the Bitcoin sales because the form 1099B  will not capture that.

Form 1099-B (Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions) reports the sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.

Here's where you enter or import your 1099-B in TurboTax:

1. Open (continue) your return, if you haven't already
2. Locate the search bar. Search for 1099-B, then select the Jump to link in the search results
3. Select Okay! on the screen Time to kick off your investments! OR Yes on the screen Did you sell any of these investments? then Continue
   • If you see Your investments and savings or Your investment sales summary, select Add investments or Add more sales
4. When you reach Let's import your tax info, choose how you want to enter your 1099-B:
   • To import your form, select your brokerage or financial institution from the list. Enter your sign-in credentials for your account, then select Get my form
   • If you want to enter your 1099-B manually, select Enter a different way, then select your investment type on the next screen
5. On the following screens, answer the questions about your 1099-B
6. When you reach the Review your sales screen, the form you just entered should be listed
   • If you need to add another 1099-B, select Add another sale. Otherwise, Continue

If you have sold Bitcoin on Cash App during the calendar year, Cash App will provide you with an IRS Form 1099-B.

 The proceeds box amount on the IRS Form 1099-B shows the net cash proceeds from your Bitcoin sales. This means that it shows the total value of your Bitcoin sales for the calendar year BUT DOES NOT account for how much you paid to buy the Bitcoin (your cost basis).  You should have records of your costs.

This is a great link for additional information.  Cash APP and Bitcoin Taxes
