Crypto functions not available in download?

keithr2 · ‎January 26, 2022

Read the recent post detailing how to import crypto transactions here (https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/cryptocurrency/help/how-do-i-import-my-cryptocurrency-transactions...)

Unfortunately, I do not see the crypto option in the income section, and I don't see coinbase as an option when I go directly to the import menu either. As best I could tell this is supposed to be available in both the online and download versions of Premier but I do not see it. I have checked for updates and most recent installed was 1/20/22.

Only the TurboTax Online Premier and Self-employed versions allow you to import cryptocurrency.

One option is to start a free tax return in TurboTax Premier Online. You don't pay for the return until you file it, so you won't have to pay the Online fee. Enter (import) your cryptocurrency information in the Crypto section, and then save the .tax file (not PDF). You can then open the tax file in TurboTax desktop, add the rest of your tax data and file.

How do I save my TurboTax Online return as a tax data file? This FAQ will also have instructions on how to continue your return in the TurboTax CD\Download version.
How do I import from the .txf file?

The other option would be to file using the Online software and get a refund for the desktop program.

Helen,

Thank you for your quick response. When I was evaluating which version of the software to purchase, I did check and read that the CD/Download version was supposed to include all functions of the online software, plus a few additional capabilities. In all places linked below, you indicate that the Download version has features beyond the online version, but it is not indicated anywhere that there are any features on the online version not covered in the download.
