Hi   My wife and I are filing our taxes as Married Filing Jointly this year. We both received 1099-DA forms from Coinbase, but when I uploaded them to the web version of TurboTax, the system never prompted me to specify the owner for each form. As a result, both 1099-DAs are now showing up under my SSN from form 8949, is this an issue? If so, Does anyone know how to fix this so the forms are correctly attributed?  

I am using TurboTax Deluxe + State desktop version. I'm trying to file a second Federal return. I've entered the information 2x and each time the file will not open and both files return a message that states "Looks like your tax file is corrupt, we're having trouble opening your return." The first error happened after updating TurboTax so I created the second file. My initial federal and state return file opens fine and I can continue to work on it, but the other will not open. I've tried opening from a back-up as well, but that doesn't work either. Any help is appreciated. @corrupt, @corrupted

Hi everyone, i have a question around the sale of stock from a private company and if i entered the transaction correctly into TT.  First, i work for a private company that i was able to purchase stock in.  We recently had an event and my shares were sold.  I received some dollars out of it and the rest of the proceeds were rolled into new shares of the company.  Here is my question.  I received a pro forma 1099-B from the company that included all the pertinent details.  We were told that a 1009-B would not be sent to the IRS.  To record the transaction i created a 1009-B in TT.  When doing so it asks some questions in which i don't have any info on, or know the answer to.  For example, Sales section, i chose long term capital gains not reported.  i'm not sure if that is correct or not, because it could also be long term basis did not receive form 1099-B.  Then it asks what kind of investment it is.  I don't know which of the choices to choose (RS, RSU, ISO, ESPP, NQSO, etc.).  On the 1099-B it does show a line that says Form 8949, Part 2 Box = F.  so, since I wasn't sure what to choose, I went over to the form 8949 to see what gets checked when I make different selections.  Since I know Part 2 box F is supposed to be checked, I played around with the selections until I found the combination that checks that box.  everything on the 8949 looks fine, it looks like everything is captured on the capital asset sale worksheet and looks like it all shows up on the sched D part 2 with the correct Proceeds, cost basis and capital gains.  Did I do this correctly?  does picking one thing over another make a difference since I don't see any reference to the type of stock it is in the actual tax forms, just that I'm paying taxes on the long-term gain, or am i missing something?   Thank You
