I am having exactly the same problem, creating the txf file from cointracking.info

Last year it worked smoothly. This year TT asks me to enter the sale category manually

The team at cointracking told me that they're using these specifications

https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-tax-discussions/discussion/txf-tax-exchange-format/00/98667

where apparently N712 and N714 should be used to denote short/long not covered

I checked my txf file and the trades are tagged correctly.

Can someone from TurboTax check this or share the correct specifications? I am using 2020.r19.040

I contacted CoinTracking support about this, and they have a way for you to upload your tax report in the TurboTax online version.

Please do the following:

1. Open your tax report generated in CoinTracking.info

2. On the capital gains report, click on the "TurboTax" Button. Then the following page will open:

3. Add now add "&tt_online" at the end of the URL in your browser. For example (don't use this link - yours will be different:( https://cointracking.info/tax/tax_details/TurboTax.php?tax=14&tt_online

4. On this page, you will find the correct files you need for uploading them into your TurboTax online version.

They format it to fit into the Robinhood format that TurboTax allows, but as noted in the instructions don't worry, you will still be able to upload transactions from all other exchanges as well.

This is a workaround that CoinTracking.info has been able to provide thankfully. All because of TurboTax not listening to users to allow .txf uploads in the online version. Thanks CoinTracking.
