Learn how to easily file your crypto taxes using CoinTracker with TurboTax Online. For common questions and troubleshooting, check out our TurboTax FAQ.
Please note: TurboTax currently limits imports to 1,000 capital gain/loss transactions. If your account exceeds this limit, the import may fail. While we're working with TurboTax to increase this limitation, you can follow the steps outlined in this article to add your tax data, or use one of the other filing options on our tax page.
Step 1: Purchase a CoinTracker plan
You must have a paid CoinTracker plan to import your tax information into TurboTax.
Please check here to see if your plan needs renewal for the applicable tax year.
Step 2: Follow the CoinTracker guided tax flow
The CoinTracker guided tax flow will help you prepare your taxes for easy filing on TurboTax.
Ensure your entire crypto transaction history is represented in CoinTracker by connecting all your exchanges and wallets—it's crucial for the accuracy of your tax report.
Please note: Before completing your tax filing, make sure you’ve received all applicable 1099-DAs from your exchanges. Timing for 1099-DA distribution varies by each exchange.
Step 3. Importing your forms into TurboTax
Connecting TurboTax to CoinTracker
- Navigate to the Taxes page.
- On the right side of the page, find the Tax Report Center and select the Tax filing software tab.
- Select Sync to TurboTax.
- If you're ready to send your forms, select I'm ready to send my forms.
- A pop-up screen will then prompt you to sign into your TurboTax account.
- Select Continue and authorize TurboTax to access your CoinTracker data.
- Once successful, your TurboTax account will be connected and select Continue filing in TurboTax
- Navigate back to CoinTracker and select I'm ready to send my forms again.
Once that’s complete, you can continue filing directly through TurboTax. Your forms should appear within the Income section on TurboTax.
Note: If you're having trouble syncing/importing your forms to TurboTax, please refer this to guide here.
Connecting CoinTracker to TurboTax
- In TurboTax, navigate to the Federal section.
- Under Income, select Investments and savings
- If asked, "Did you have investment income in 2025?", select Yes
- Choose CoinTracker as the source for importing your tax information.
- Select Continue, follow the prompts to connect your CoinTracker account, and complete any required checks before import.
- After successful import, you'll see a form imported from CoinTracker titled Digital Assets (1099-DA)
- Verify the capital gains/losses reported match those in CoinTracker's Taxes page.
Please note: you may see slight differences in capital gains/losses due to CoinTracker rounding amounts up to $0.01 in TurboTax.
Step 4: Enter taxable income manually
Certain types of crypto transactions, such as Airdrops, Payments, Forks, Mining, Staking, Interest, Royalty, or other transactions are considered taxable income. CoinTracker calculates your taxable income and lists it on the Taxes page under Total income and provides the same total to you on your Form 1040 (Schedule 1).
TurboTax does not yet support syncing income data from CoinTracker, so you will need to enter your Total Income manually after you sync your capital gains data.
Steps to enter taxable income into TurboTax
- Navigate to Federal Taxes > Wages & Income.
- Select Less common income
- Select Miscellaneous Income.
- Select Start next to "Digital assets not reported anywhere else"
- Input the amount from your 1040 (Schedule 1) or the Taxable Income displayed on the Taxes page.
- Select Continue.
Why is only "1099-DA" listed on TurboTax even though CoinTracker sent all my tax forms?
TurboTax labels all tax form imports from CoinTracker as "1099-DA" in their tax flow. Even though you’ll only see “1099-DA” on TurboTax, the data CoinTracker sends includes your crypto gain/loss records (including the information on Form 8949) for a complete return.
