Crypto currency transactions

When reporting cryptocurrency transactions in TurboTax, you generally need to enter each transaction individually. This is because individual transactions have unique purchase dates, cost bases, and proceeds which affect the accuracy of your tax reporting.

However, some crypto exchanges provide a Form 1099-DA, which summarizes your digital asset transactions for the year. This form reports your gross proceeds and can simplify your reporting process.

TurboTax allows you to either import your transactions directly from supported exchanges, including 1099-DA forms, or enter them manually one by one. Using detailed transaction data is usually more accurate, but the 1099-DA form helps consolidate your tax info if available.

To upload, import or enter cryptocurrency manually, follow these steps:
