How do I input long term capital gain for cryptocurrency?

AHHHH-taxes · ‎April 6, 2022

Im on the page to input crypto purchases. TurboTax asks, "When did you receive this investment?"
I bought it back in 2019.
TurboTax tells me It has to be within the past 12 months.
But, how does anyone input a LONG TERM capita gain bought years ago, if TurboTax only allows purchases within the past 12 months?

Enter the long term capital gain under

Income

Investment Income

Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other

You need to be entering this as a sale.

Date sold needs to be 2021, but date acquired can be an earlier year.

We have not heard of any issues, but if you are using TurboTax Online and having trouble entering in the Crypto section, delete it and switch to Stocks.
