I was having the same issue (for weeks) - linking the worksheets. However, tried something on my own as no good Intuit support. I deleted the "student" and "people" worksheets. Then, I went into the "interview" process (instead of entering student responses on the 'actual" worksheets). By answering the student-related questions through the interview process, it populated both worksheets correctly - no "link: issues. I was also able to then complete the return, and successfully e-file it (so no behind the scenes conflicting data issues, etc.) I hope this also works for you! 🙂

There are a lot of things that are daunting about getting that list of transactions from your trades for the year.  A thousand transactions with all those pennies can be weird.  You've got a couple ways to handle it that aren't as difficult and I'll walk you through those and then give you a good article that you can read if you want to.   To begin with your cryptocurrency transactions are in the Wages and Income section of your federal return.  Scroll down to 'Investment Income' and you'll see them there.  Then you've got a couple of ways to get them into your return.   The first way is to import all of those transactions.  That's fastest and would be easiest but the import function isn't ready in TurboTax yet.  You can decide to take this option and come back at the end of February and you'll be able to have TurboTax just pull all those numbers in and enter them directly into your tax return.   The second option is to ignore all of those numbers and just enter the totals at the bottom of the sections.  The total amount of short term transactions with the basis reported to the IRS, the total amount of short term transactions without the basis reported to the IRS, and so on.  You will just enter those totals into the return and the system will tell you whether you owe money or have a refund just like every year.  Then you will file your return electronically.  The system will also give you a form 8453 to print.  You will print that form along with all of those crypto transaction pages that you received and mail those in.  The IRS will match them up with the return that you filed electronically and you will be all set.   You can also - after you enter the totals - just print and mail your entire tax return and include the forms for the cryptocurrency transactions with that.  But that slows return processing time way down.   Here is some more information on cryptocurrency and TurboTax.  Come back here with more specific questions if you need more help.  

Just got off the phone with a TurboTax rep. Apparently they’ve got their top depreciation specialist on it — one guy, elite, working a highly strategic 37 minutes per day to ensure maximum accuracy. He assured me it’ll be ready “by February… but likely sooner,” which is incredibly reassuring because we are, in fact, currently in February. Progress is happening.

You already know more than any of the"Tax Experts" I have had on two prior calls.  They have no answer other than to try again, and until now I see this is the best way to get an update.  Having said that, today is the 18th and it is still an open issue.

Since the 1099-MISC is only for $630,000 I believe you would be fine just reporting that.  That will agree with IRS records.  If you want to report the entire $900,000 what you described is correct, although it has significant amounts not reported to the IRS that could draw attention.  Two ways of getting to the same result.    

So I'm expected to do my own seperate k-1? What about the rest of the numbers?  I don't know which codes go to which income/k-1. The reason I was using Turbo tax is because it was supposed to put the numbers in their right location after I complete the interview.  It shouldn't be on me to figure out.  Have you seen how much their program costs these days?  You can't imagine how disappointed I am with TT. I even googled the issue and here is the answer.  Yes, TurboTax users have reported several, often recurring, issues with Schedule K-1 forms, particularly regarding blank pages when printing, calculation errors, and data not transferring correctly, according to TurboTax Support discussions. These problems are frequently found in the Business/Desktop software and often require manual workarounds, such as updating to the latest version or using different PDF
