Coinbase no longer supports a direct import of a CSV file into TurboTax from their site which has resulted in an error message for some users. Instead, Coinbase is relying on a 3rd party, CoinTracker, as an option to calculate your cryptocurrency gains and losses and to access your CSV file.

In TurboTax Desktop, to enter cryptocurrency that must be reported as an investment:
Option 1: Step By Step
Option 2: From Forms Mode
For a large number of transactions, enter it in summary form on Form 8949, one total for short-term and one total for long-term. Mail in the pages along with Form 8453 with the Form 8949 box checked.
For short-term transactions, Box C checked on Form 8949 for not being reported to you on Form 1099-B
For long-term transactions, Box F will be checked on Form 8949 for not being reported to you on Form 1099-B
Form 8453 can be found in Open Forms and printed to include with the hard copy details of your transactions.

Before uploading, it is best to re-sort the columns to match TurboTax. From left to right, title your columns:

I am ready to import my .txf file from Zenledger for my Cryptocurrency transactions. I have the desktop (CD) version of Turbo Tax with an upgrade to Premier via online. I don't see the "cryptocurrency" sections that Premier is supposed to have. It was my understanding that Premier provided this, which is why I upgraded. Where do I find the cryptocurrency section that I thought I was paying for with the upgrade? and how do I import this .txf file for form 8949?
In TurboTax Desktop, follow these steps to import a .txt file.
