Can I add a header to my cryptocurrency CSV to have it imported to the "How did you receive this investment" section? I would rather enter them on the CSV and import.

The answer to that section is the same for almost all of the entries, so it would be much faster this way.

You shouldn't need to do that because the Box Category controls.

Do you have a column for Box Category?

TurboTax should not be asking that question.

Wait. You said something about a column for Box Category. What is that? Could I add it to my CSV myself?

There are six Box Categories and you have to mark one of those for each Transaction.

The thing is, I don't know if there is such a column header in TurboTax, but CSV import is not complete without that.

That could be why it is asking followup questions, that should not be necessary.
