Confusion around filing with Crypto

I understand you can import the 1099-B and 1099-MISC that I have received directly into TurboTax and I can also upload a CSV of Crypto transactions into TurboTax.

 

I'm rather confused when it comes to making sure I'm doing this properly.

 

I used 3 exchanges.

Crypto.com (I've bought, sold, earned, held, and transferred crypto)  - I received a 1099-MISC From Crypto.com which is my understanding is only for my earn interest from staking. Crypto.com is the exchange I've used the most.

 

Coinbase  (I've bought, sold, earned, held, and transferred crypto)  - I receieved a 1099-B

 

Gemini - Little usage but i did buy/sell/transfer and earn.  -  I did not receive a 1099 of any sort from Gemini.

 

 

So after importing my 1099-B from Coinbase and 1099-MISC from Crypto.com, how do I properly  cover all my other transactions that will have a taxable event?

 

I'm linked my exchanges to the tax.crypto.com which imports all my transaction, and when generating the TurboTax report and uploading, TurboTax shows it as a 1099-B for Crypto.com. However, I don't see how that could be correct, as it contains transactions from other exchanges.

 

What is the best way of covering all my taxable events without duplicating information and ensuring everything is captured?

 

Do I generatge 1 report for Coinbase to cover my earn that was not covered in my 1099-B? Then another report from Crypto.com to get taxable events that were not covered in the 1099-MISC? then another report for Gemini to get all transaction that are taxable?

 

Edit: Also when signing into Coinbase or any other exchange VIA TurboTax, is that just pulling in tax documents or it also pulling in any transactions?

Confusion around filing with Crypto

It is my understanding that these platforms are not required to issue a 1099 for sales of crypto sales for 2021.  I have coinbase and coinbase pro, and the 1099 only reported crypto earned.  I was able to get a gain loss report, however it is not reported to IRS on a 1099.  Since the sales are not reported on a 1099 they need to be reported on form 8949, part I, box C for short term sales and part II, box F for long term sales.   I did not import detailed transactions into turbo tax. I noted that the sales reports generated by coinbase were based upon LIFO method, I had to recalculate using FIFO since I used FIFO in prior years.  I calculated all of my gains/losses outside of turbo tax, entered summary totals on form 8949, and mailed details of the gain/loss calculations with Form 8453 Transmittal which turbo tax generates.
