How to submit your cryptocurrency report using TurboTax

Given the popularity of TurboTax in the US and Canada for tax reporting, you'll probably want to learn how to report your crypto profit or loss alongside your regular income and capital gains.

To comprehensively report your crypto on Turbo Tax, you will need to upload both a crypto capital gains report and a crypto income report.

You can get both of these reports from Summ, which supports both the Desktop and online versions of the TurboTax app.

Here's a quick overview of how to file your crypto tax in TurboTax. Read on for detailed step-by-step instructions with screenshots of the TurboTax software.
