I want to stay current with the IRS and was unaware that I had to declare every single trade especially since I never transferred money back into USD. However I now go to my tax returns on turbotax and it only lets me amend 2018, 2019 and 2020. How do I go about amending 2017 in turbotax - all data is there I just want to add the trades and send the 1040X. Any help how to go about it is appreciated.

To amend a 2017 return you can either get the fill in forms online from the IRS OR download, install, update the 2017 downloaded version. If you had a state on the original return then it also must be installed and updated first ... then you can open the .tax2017 file and start the amendment process.

Yes I could download the 1040X but honestly need turbotax to compute the numbers and everything for me, I wouldn't know where to put what on the forms. Could you elaborate on what you mean with download, install and update the 2017 version? Is there a desktop-version of Turbotax somewhere (i'd need a link) that would allow me to open the .tax file and add the crypto CSVs to compute the numbes and spit out a 1040X form?!
