Question

What is the CSV format to import Cryptocurrency info? I downloaded all the CSV files from CoinTracking in the tax section, but none are working.

It's a TXF file.

We can help you access your tax forms in Coinbase.

Go to www.coinbase.com/tax-center (you may be prompted to sign in first).
Select 2019 next to Gain/Loss Calculator.
Download each individual CSV file from the list of cryptocurrencies (2,251 is the max amount of transactions you can do in TurboTax).

After you're done, sign in to TurboTax to upload your files (you'll need them to report any gains or losses).

Don’t download any transaction history files as they won't work. If you experience issues downloading, please contact Coinbase directly.

I'm sorry, CoinBase does not have all my transactions. I do track them it CoinTracking.info which I thought was listed in TurboTax Web as being a supported platform, but Cointracker is. I'll just have to do it manually I suppose. It would be nice to understand the format so that I could make the CSV work by shifting columns and naming them right.

Turbotax only accepts CSV files from preapproved partners.

You can do it manually or go through Coinbase, Bitcoin.Tax, Bit Taxer, Coin Tracker, CryptoTrader.Tax, Robinhood, TokenTax, or ZenLedger.

I've been trying to download my csv file from Robinhood to turbo tax for 2 weeks now. At first it wasn't showing in my docs, I had to use a pdf converter to csv. Now it shows but it keeps saying no header found and I can't find any informative.

Yeah that's not true. That response does not work. I spent hours on the phone for that and they could not important it except for the select providers they have partnered with apparently. Turbotax does not care to fix this for their customers. No clue why. Allowing the import of a CSV file for trades is one of the most basic ways of adding tax info possible.

Cointracker provides the option to download two types of CSV files, Transaction History and Capital Gains. The Capital Gains CSV file is the one that will upload into TT correctly. This can be found by going to the "Taxes" tab at the top of the screen and selecting "Tax Center." Then, scroll down until you see "Tax Reports" on the right hand side of the screen. Click on "CSV Reports" and download "Capital Gains CSV." This should result in a successful upload of your transactions into TurboTax

Please share a sample CSV file in correct format.

Coinbase only has option to download transaction history in CSV which is not the right information to upload, it even says so on their website. However, if you share an example of the proper format, it would be easy to convert transactions to the right capital gain info and then upload that.
