Use the SSN you received in 2025 for the filing of your 2024 Form 8843. This identifier relates to who you are now and who you were during 2024. Make sure to use the form "For calendar year 2024".    You are filing late, but the IRS might not penalize you if you can show by clear and convincing evidence that you took reasonable actions to become aware of the filing requirements and significant steps to comply with those requirements.    The Office of International Students and Scholars of Yale University publishes an easy to read description of Form 8843 provisions and instructions.    We also include a link to Form 8843 and its instructions. 

Perhaps all of the cryptocurrency upload software is not yet operational.   The TurboTax Help How do I upload a CSV file of my crypto transactions? states:   Select +Add investments if you've already added some crypto info. On the Let's import your tax info screen, select Enter a different way, Cryptocurrency, and then Continue. Follow the onscreen instructions to upload your cryptocurrency. In TurboTax Premium Online, if I select Enter a different way, I do not receive the Cryptocurrency prompt.  Nor do I receive a prompt for a CSV file.   This tax year introduces a new IRS tax form 1099-DA Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions.     IRS Form 1099-DA will be used by brokers to report proceeds from (and in some cases, basis for) digital asset dispositions to you and the IRS. @ss8423OakRunCourt   

If you're using TurboTax Desktop, you will need to upgrade to the Home & Business version. Once the software is installed, open a return then use the link at the top right corner of the TurboTax Home & Business screen to access Quick Employer Forms for free. Or go to File >> Create 1099/W2.   If you're using TurboTax Online, the easiest way to start is to log into TurboTax then open a new tab and to go to the Quick Employer Forms site.   Quick Employer Forms is also available to the public, but not for free.   For more information, see:  How do I create W-2 and 1099 forms for my employees or contractors? What is Quick Employer Forms?

@renee-fuhrman    Scroll down the Wages & Income page....to the Less Common Income section.   In there, there is a menu item for Gambling Winnings   (on my desktop software it's called  "Prizes, Awards, and Gambling Winnings"...should be similar in the "Online" software.

(If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.) Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
