Turbotax is not reading Koinly's Form 8949 & Sched D and their Turbotax CSV has different headers. How do I get my crypto activity recorded on Koinly into Turbotax?

Are you able to download a .csv file from Koinly?  I have been able to upload a .csv file to TurboTax Premier Online.

 

  • Go to Federal / Wages & Income / Your income / Investments and Savings.
  • Click Start / Revisit to the right of Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other.
  • Click Add investments.
  • At the screen Get ready to be impressed, click Continue.
  • At the screen Let’s import your tax info, click Enter a different way.
  • At the screen OK, let’s start with one investment type, select Cryptocurrency.  Click Continue.
  • At the screen Select your crypto experience, select Upload.  Click Continue.
  • At the screen What’s the name of the crypto service, select Other and enter the name of the service.
  • Click Continue.
  • At the screen Go ahead and upload your crypto CSV file, upload the file.

 

The .csv should follow this format.

 

  • All the columns from the .csv file were deleted except for the five columns listed below.   
  • All other lines other than the headings and the five columns of data were deleted.

 

  •    Purchase Date
  •    Date Sold
  •    Proceeds
  •    Cost Basis
  •    Currency Name

 

This is the .csv file format.

 

           A                   B              C                  D                   E

purchase date  date sold    proceeds   cost basis   currency name

11/24/2021        2/1/2022    1,779.96     1,916.52         ABFOA

12/7/2021          4/1/2022    1,111.46     1,225.45         ABFOA

11/24/2021        3/1/2022    1,638.54     1,638.54         ABFOA

I'm getting this error message after deleting the header that I dont need and only leaving:


Purchase Date, Date sold, Proceeds, cost basis, and Currency Name.

 

Error is:

You uploaded a CSV file containing Gain/Loss information. Please go back and choose the respective Gain/Loss provider to upload this file.

 

Not sure what to do next?

Leave the header that you deleted and try again.

Figured it out- for anyone with the same issue, make sure to enter the documents NOT via the "Crypto CSV" choice, rather to go to the "Ill enter it myself" workflow
