Is the Coinbase import causing anyone else a headache?

Auto import caused large $10k transaction amount to show up. CSV import making me review 300+ items manually.

Found that importing transactions seems to be the best for my situation. Sharing in case it helps someone else having issues.

1. Auto Import from Coinbase - shows $10k+ in transactions when mine were less than <$1k

2. TurboTax Gain/Loss CSV from Coinbase - transactions with cost basis values less that <.005 caused 0.00 value errors that needed to be reviewed...this was more than 300 transactions for me (tiny ALGO rewards).
3. Transaction CSV - imported successfully and appears to have calculated correctly.

Intuit, I hope you can get these issues resolved, and I sure hope you are handling these imports correctly. A little concerned since I got different numbers with each import.

At the screen Let’s import your tax info, click Enter a different way.
At the screen OK, let’s start with one investment type, select Cryptocurrency. Click Continue.
At the screen Select your crypto experience, select Upload. Click Continue.
At the screen What’s the name of the crypto service, select Other. Enter the name of the service if prompted.
Click Continue.
At the screen Go ahead and upload your crypto CSV file, upload the file.

The .csv should follow this format.

All the columns from the .csv file were deleted except for the five columns listed below.
All other lines other than the headings and the five columns of data were deleted.
