How can I change the answer to "At any time during 2019, did you receive, sell, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency"

Turbot tax asked

 "At any time during 2019, did you receive, sell, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency"

I entered a wrong answer. How can I go back to change my answer in the UI again? The question doesn't pop up any more.

Use the following steps to revisit the cryptocurrency question and change your response:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “cryptocurrency” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to cryptocurrency
  • Click on the blue “Jump to cryptocurrency” link and enter your information

I followed your instruction but I did not see "Jump to cryptocurrency" option after I did the first two steps.

There are 22 pages of search results, I look through all of them but none of them is "Jump to cryptocurrency".

To revisit the Cryptocurrency section:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Go to Wages and Income 
  3. Scroll down to Investment Income and click show more.
  4. Go to Cryptocurrency and click Start.

None of the earlier answers worked for me.  No "jump to crypto" option, etc.  To revisit that virtual currency question, tried to go to Forms mode and found the question at top of Schedule 1, but it was not editable there.  FINALLY was able to edit that question in Forms mode by going to "1040/1040SR Wks" worksheet, scrolling down until reached the top of schedule 1, and it was editable there.  Huge amount of time spent to find this backdoor method...

Thank you for posting this. It was frustrating not being able to edit it in Schedule 1 also. I was hunting for that setting for 2 hours as well. I was trying to hunt for that question in the regular UI but it's gone after I answered "No"

Thanks for posting this. I had a similar problem while doing my 2020 taxes. I am using TT Premier desktop version.  Once I answered the crypto q in the interview, I spent a lot of time to find a way to change it. Till I found your post. Just to update - the 2020 Turbo Tax one has to go to Forms. Then in left panel go to 1040/1040SR Wks. Change it over their. Cheers!

This is the only correct answer. All the others were dead ends. Thanks for posting!

It's ridiculous that Intuit makes this so difficult.

I tried going through this for the 2020 return question. But even when I select "no", the box on the tax return is marked "yes". I am using Turbo Tax online and do know how to access the forms directly.

@mattloflin 

you are not following the workaround EXACTLY and going to a place which looks simmilar but is NOT same.

In left panel go to 1040/1040SR Wks

I have tried all the steps above and still cannot find the question.  I went to forms and selected 1040/1040SR wks from the left panel, scrolled down to the top of Schedule 1.  The question is not there! Schedule 1 starts with Part 1 Additional Income.  The question is not in Part 1 of Schedule on my form.  I checked everywhere on Schedule 1 and could not find it.  Is there any other way to find this question?  Am I missing something?  Very frustrating and turbotax needs to fix this!

Go to Forms. From Left panel click on 1040/1040SR Wks

Then in right panel scroll down to crypyo question and changes answer Yes/No whatever applies to you.

It looks like you are in Forms Mode.  You can just click the No box.

What if I used online version? Forms Mode is not supported. How can I make the change?
