Hello I traded cryptocurrencies this last year and have over the 4000 transaction limit. I used CoinTracker to keep everything in one place. They generate the tax forms for me but the only form I have from them is Form 8949. There is no option to import that into TurboTax and I am very confused as what I should do.
I imported the transactions from CoinTracker but since I am over the 4000 limit it told me I needed to separate them and that is what the 8949 form does I believe. What do I need to do so that I can report these sales and file?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
did the Form 8949 generated for you provide details of 4,000 transactions.?
You can mail that in to the IRS after you e-File with summaries by Box Category.
if you choose to summarize only, you have to mail the transaction details to the IRS within three business days of IRS accepting your e-Filed tax return.(unless you have attached a PDF of the transactions details to your e-Filed return. TurboTax seems to be adding this feature now).
Detail Reporting Exception: if you summarize Category A or Category D, Form 8949 is not needed for transactions without adjustments. No mailing is necessary.
Typically, your sales category for crypto is C or F.
There is no exception for these categories.
