How to import Crypto CSV file?

If I got Federal -> Wages & Income -> Your Income -> Investments and Savings, then I can "Add Investments".

If I click "Connect", then I can type "Crypto CSV Upload" and I can choose it. However, when I choose it, the file format only takes .pdf, .jpg, .jpeg, or .png...

 

I'm a bit confused, how do I upload a Crypto CSV file.

How to import Crypto CSV file?

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 wayCryptocurrency, 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 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.

I have a similar issue.  Last year my crypto tax software was able to generate a turbotax import file. Due to the change to wallet based reporting and turbo tax they are not offering that this year.  I get a zip file with a completed Schedule D pdf and individual 8949 pdfs for each of my wallets.  I not sure how to import all of these.  I do not want to manually enter all of my transactions or inport a bunch of transactions that I already categorized in my crypto tax software.  Is turbotax going to release any updates to make this easier?

For each completed Form 8949 with details, enter a "summary" of that Form.

TurboTax will generate your Schedule D for e-File.

you will be instructed to mail paper copies of the detail Forms 8949 to the IRS

OR,  to attach the PDF copies when you e-File.

thank you for that advice.  Do you think turbotax will add any feature to make it more seamless? I have 9 wallets that coinledger.io generated a form 8949.  One of them is coinbase which i expect to get a 1099-DA with an incorrect basis.  The other ones will not have a 1099-DA.  thanks

If you get a ready-to-go Form 8949 with any Box  G - L marked, that is your 1099-DA.

If the basis is wrong, enter the details yourself for that one, and discard the incorrect PDF.

 

TurboTax doesn't make any of this easy.
