Uploading a Coinbase csv file

I am trying to upload a Coinbase csv file with my crypto transactions into TurboTax Premier on a Windows computer.  The instructions say Search "cryptocurrency" in TT, then select "jump to cryptocurrency".  When I search "cryptocurrency" in the Search box, the jump to option is not shown. 

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Bob P

    Thanks so much for your answer. Unfortunately, the options you note are not shown on my TT.  I am using the desktop version of TT Premier for 2022.  It looks like your instructions are for the online version.  For example, there is no Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other options. 

    Suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Are you able to obtain a .csv file from Coinbase?  

     

    If so, you may be able to convert your .csv file to a .txf file and upload it into TurboTax Desktop Premier version.

     

    Follow these steps:

     

    • Create a .csv file with all transactions using the format shown at Easytxf.
    • Used Easytxf to convert the .csv file into .txf file.
    • Import .txf file into Turbotax Desktop:   File / Import / From Accounting Software / Other Financial Software (TXF) file /  Continue / Choose a File to Import / Import now.

    A 1099-B with your transactions is now created.   This entry can now be edited to include the account details.  Each transaction can be edited as well.
