Convert your CSV into a TXF file. TurboTax Desktop can import TXF files, even though it cannot currently import Coinbase CSVs.  You can convert these files with tools such as:    CoinTracker (Coinbase’s recommended partner)  Koinly CoinLedger TokenTax  This is the recommended procedure.     

Job vs business: (common to have both in your situation) If you have w2 income, it is a job. If Medicare and Social Security taxes were not withheld, they need to be paid. Select 1 Since you have side jobs not on a w-2, there is also a business. You must add a Sch C business.  Use your own name and address.  Business description, preaching/ ministry/ whatever suits,  continue Select, I started in 2025, enter date of first time doing these extra preaching, continue Pay employees? select no EIN, you probably haven't applied for one, select yes or no, continue Enter business code,  cash method, no 1099 to issue Summary of what you entered shows, continue Select Business Income, start Select business income not reported on other forms or general income enter cash/ checks and amount, continue keep going and enter any expenses associated with this work.   References:  Topic no. 417, Earnings for clergy | Internal Revenue Service Tax information for businesses   As for the various states, each has a different filing threshold. There are a few states where earning $1 as a nonresident triggers a tax return. If money was earned in Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska or Vermont, verify if you need to file. As the amounts get larger, the required filing goes up. These are the states to check for earnings from $1-$999 as a nonresident.

You can use the Forms menu option to make entries directly in the forms. However, many of the entries can only be made from the question and answer menu. If you right click your mouse on the line you want to enter, you will see a menu that shows you the source of that entry. Often you can go to the form or schedule that is the source of an entry and make an enter there that will flow over to the entry you are trying to populate.
