Now TurboTax users can easily import their cryptocurrency trades and automatically file crypto taxes. 

KANSAS CITY, MO, USA [June 26, 2019] –  CryptoTrader.Tax, a cryptocurrency software development start-up, has announced its partnership with tax giant Intuit TurboTax. With this partnership, consumers are now able to import their crypto tax data directly into TurboTax for easy filing with the goal of bringing cryptocurrency tax compliance to the mainstream.

Reporting Cryptocurrency on Taxes

How do you report cryptocurrency on taxes? The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes. This means you are required to report capital gains and losses on your crypto transactions. To properly report these transactions, you need to report the original cost basis, the fair market value in USD of the coin at the time of the trade, and the amount of gain or loss you incurred for every cryptocurrency transaction on Form 8949. This becomes nearly impossible to do by hand as the historical USD price for all coins is not readily available. CryptoTrader.Tax automates the entire process for calculating your bitcoin tax liability. 

“You simply import your cryptocurrency trades into the platform using the technology we have built. The software will automatically crunch your capital gains and losses numbers and generate the necessary tax documents including the IRS form 8949,” said David Kemmerer, Co-Founder and CEO of CryptoTrader.Tax. “CryptoTrader.Tax makes it extremely easy to calculate your crypto tax liability and save time doing your taxes.”
