get "validation failed" when I upload my crypto CSV from Coinbase

I was able to get CSV from Coinbase (So don't tell me how to download the file) and try to upload the transaction into Turbotax 

  • Tried to resave the file
  • Tried to get CSV for each currency  I traded
  • Tried to delete the first few lines before headers in the csv

none of them works.

still showed "Validation Failed"

If the csv won't validate, you can use one of the many crypto reconciliation services online; many will provide you with a complete Form 8949. Or, if you don't have too many Coinbase transactions, you can enter them manually into TurboTax.
