I downloaded the all-time transaction report provided by Coinbase, and my transactions are below the limit of something like 2,400 transactions.. I am getting an *invaid download error message.

You may need to download the transaction report from Coinbase as a CSV value or convert it to a CSV file before uploading/importing it to TurboTax.  Transaction history (all-time summaries) files won't import, see these instructions below.  

 

  1. Go to www.coinbase.com/tax-center (you may be prompted to sign in first).
  2. Select 2019 next to the Gain/Loss Calculator.
  3. Download each individual CSV file from the list of cryptocurrencies (2,251 is the max amount of transactions you can do in TurboTax).

After you're done, sign in to TurboTax to upload your files (you'll need them to report any gains or losses).

Don’t download any transaction history files as they won't work. If you experience issues downloading, please contact Coinbase directly.

This would be helpful, but how about for 2020? 

Cannot find a GAIN/LOSS CALCULATOR at Coinbase.com 

Hopefully that was not replaced with the link to a third party web site that asks for all my coinbase account info to calculate my taxes.

Coinbase has information to calculate your gains/losses here

 

For more information on their tools, you will need to reach out to Coinbase directly.

Unfortunately, Coinbase no longer supports the direct upload of your CSV file to TurboTax. The good news is, you can access your CSV file through CoinTracker instead, and get the same benefit. Take a look at "How do I get a CSV file from Coinbase?"
