TurboTax features four different packages, however only two of these – Premier and Self Employed, include reporting for cryptocurrency.

Once you have chosen one of the two packages, click “Start for free” to get started.

3. Provide your details

You will be required some personal information which helps with your filing status. When prompted about your ‘financial picture,’ choose “I sold or traded cryptocurrency”

Once you have proceeded and provided your details, you will then be taken to the TurboTax home page.

You can do this by clicking on the “Federal” Tab on the side, once you have completed the “My info” section. Once again, you may be required to answer some questions about your income for the year.
