Crypto tax software that works with TurboTax.

The crypto platform is only part of the bill — TurboTax charges its own tiers for investment reporting — but the platform side, checked in November 2026, runs:

• CoinLedger: $49 per tax year (up to 100 transactions) or $99 (up to 1,000), TurboTax import included at every tier; 10% off with CRYPTOTAX10. The cheapest clean path into TurboTax.
• Koinly: $49–$99 per tax year at the same volumes, TurboTax export included on paid plans.
• CoinTracker: $59/year Base, $199/year Prime (up to 1,000). You are paying a premium for the direct integration and multi-year coverage — worth it if you file several years or hate file imports on principle.
• TokenTax: $49 entry with a TurboTax Online export, but no free tier to validate your data first, and its strengths (human accountants) are orthogonal to a TurboTax workflow.

• The handoff breaks on volume. Very large 8949 files can hit import limits or sluggish review screens in consumer filing products; platforms offer summary-entry alternatives (totals by category with the detailed statement attached or mailed per IRS rules). If you have thousands of disposals, read the import guidance before assuming the file will sail in.
• It breaks on mismatched basis. TurboTax will happily import numbers built on a blank 1099-DA basis. The import succeeding says nothing about the numbers being right — reconcile first with our free reconciler, then export.
• It breaks at the digital-asset question. However you import, TurboTax still asks the IRS’s yes/no digital-asset question on Form 1040. Answer it based on your actual activity (receiving, selling, exchanging), not on whether you imported a file — our reporting guide covers the exact wording.
• The combination breaks on TurboTax’s own gates. Investment and crypto features sit in TurboTax’s paid tiers, and import formats differ between its Online and Desktop products. Confirm your TurboTax edition accepts your platform’s export before filing week — discovering a format mismatch in April is a rite of passage you can skip.

1. Compute in the crypto platform, not in TurboTax. Import your exchanges and wallets into CoinLedger or Koinly (free previews), fix basis gaps, and confirm the totals against your 1099-DA and statements.
2. Export the TurboTax-formatted output (or use CoinTracker’s direct handoff) and import it into the investment section of TurboTax.
3. Verify three numbers after import: total proceeds, total basis, and net gain — in TurboTax, against the platform report. Imports occasionally drop or duplicate rows; the three-number check catches it in a minute.
4. Answer the digital-asset question deliberately, review the generated Form 8949 and Schedule D inside TurboTax, then file and save both the platform audit trail and the TurboTax return copy.

Since Form 1099-DA arrived, a TurboTax crypto filing involves three versions of your year: the broker’s form (proceeds, basis only where covered), your crypto platform’s report (your full lot accounting), and whatever lands inside TurboTax after the import. Filing well means those three agree where they should — and differ only where the law says they differ.

• Proceeds should match everywhere. If TurboTax’s imported proceeds differ from the 1099-DA total, a row was dropped, duplicated, or imported from the wrong year. This is the mismatch the IRS’s matching program is built to catch.
• Basis legitimately differs from the form. For noncovered sales your reported basis comes from your records, not the blank box — so your platform report and your TurboTax return will show basis the form lacks. That is correct, and your records are the support for it.
• The platform report is the bridge document. Keep it: it explains, line by line, how the form’s proceeds and your basis became the return’s gains. Every platform in this comparison produces one; the audit trail is not optional paperwork.

Run the first match before you import anything: our free 1099-DA reconciler compares the form against your basis lot by lot, so the TurboTax step starts from verified numbers instead of discovering problems at the review screen.

• We take pricing, free tiers, and billing models from the vendors’ own public pages, cross-checked against independent roundups — and we date every check, because these numbers move.
• We do not accept payment for placement or ranking. Where a link on this page can earn us a commission, the disclosure at the top and bottom says so, and says which vendor it applies to.
• We do not publish user counts, star ratings, or testimonials we cannot verify, and we label integration counts as vendor-reported because every vendor counts differently.
• When sources disagree, the vendor’s current pricing page is the final authority — confirm there before buying.

• The full software hub — all four platforms side by side.
• CoinTracker vs CoinLedger — integration vs value, head to head.
• How to report crypto taxes — the full filing workflow.
• Best software for Coinbase users — where most TurboTax imports begin.
