Follow this step-by-step guide to move your data into TurboTax accurately. ⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: DO NOT DOUBLE-REPORT Do NOT upload your 1099-DA (or other digital asset forms) to both Netrunner and TurboTax. Netrunner's report already includes all transactions from your 1099-DA. If you upload that same form to TurboTax separately, your data will be counted twice — resulting in more tax owed than you actually owe and potentially red-flagging your return with the IRS. ⚠️ TurboTax Desktop Users — Read This First TurboTax Desktop Premier has known import issues in 2026. CSV import has been removed. TXF import generates the wrong form type (1099-B instead of the now-required 1099-DA). PDF import is unreliable on Desktop. Skip to the TurboTax Desktop Workaround section below for a fully IRS-compliant alternative. ## Section 1: Prepare Your Data in Netrunner Before starting, make sure your Netrunner account is fully reconciled. Step 1 — Reconcile 100% of your transactions. Review and resolve all flagged transactions before generating reports. Incomplete data produces inaccurate reports. Step 2 — Confirm your cost basis method matches your jurisdiction requirements (FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, or ACB for Canada). Step 3 — Navigate to the Taxes tab in Netrunner. Select the correct fiscal year. Step 4 — Click Download Tax Report and download the following: * TurboTax Transactions List (PDF) — This is your primary upload file for TurboTax * Form 8949 (PDF) — Keep as supporting documentation * Capital Gains Report (CSV) — Keep as a backup record ## Section 2: Upload to TurboTax Online This section covers TurboTax Online (browser). Desktop users see the workaround section below. Step 1 — In TurboTax, navigate to Wages and Income in the left-hand menu. Step 2 — Under Investments and Savings, select Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B, 1099-DA). ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/investment-and-savings_h6m9fb.png) Step 3 — When asked if you had investment income in 2025, select Yes. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/investment-income_1b92853.png) Step 4 — Click Enter a different way. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/different-way_1gqggjp.png) Step 5 — When asked how you want to add your documents, choose Upload and click Continue. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/upload-docs_j9x0q3.png) If your file is too large to upload, use Type it in myself instead and reference your Netrunner Capital Gains Report to enter totals. You can check [this guide here](https://help.netrunner.tax/en/article/my-form-8949-is-too-large-for-turbotax-what-should-i-do-3cvh30/) for complete process. Step 6 — Upload your Netrunner TurboTax Transactions List PDF. This single file covers all your digital asset sales. Do not upload additional 1099-DA forms. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/upload-documents_h1ra7e.png) ## Section 3: Review and Clear Flags TurboTax may flag some transactions as Needs Review, typically due to a $0 cost basis or $0 proceeds. This is expected for certain transaction types. Step 1 — If you see a Needs Review tag next to your Netrunner entry, click Review. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/needs-review_b8ured.png) Step 2 — Stablecoin transactions are included in the generated report so click Continue on the “double-check your sales” screen.  ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/double-check_w7gups.png) Step 3 — If TurboTax shows a summary screen with flagged transactions, click the pencil icon on the right to edit individual items. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/review-tax-sales_af3wfj.png) Step 4 — Filter by the Status column to surface all transactions that need review. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/status-tax-sales_f6lxpt.png) Step 5 — For each flagged transaction, click the pencil icon and review the details. Step 6 — If the cost basis is legitimately $0 (e.g., an airdrop you received for free), enter $0 in the Cost or Other Basis field and click Continue. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/explain-taxes_1kfvll7.png) Step 7 — Select how you received the asset. Choose the option that fits your situation — often None of these apply. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/apply-sale_yqs7rk.png) Step 8 — Confirm by selecting I don't want to make any changes to my cost basis right now and click Continue. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/find-cost-basis_1hx8wc3.png) ## Section 4: Enter Other Income (Staking, Airdrops, DeFi Yields) Staking rewards, airdrops, and DeFi income cannot be imported — they must be entered manually. Use your Netrunner Income Report as the source. Step 1 — In TurboTax, go to Wages and Income and scroll down to Less Common Income. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/other-income_zz59jc.png) Step 2 — Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. Step 3 — Choose Other Reportable Income at the bottom of the list. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/misc-income_n9qavn.png) Step 4 — Select Yes when asked if you received other taxable income, then click Add. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/other-taxable-income_1dqspsp.png) Step 5 — Enter a description and the total amount from your Netrunner Income Report. You can be general or granular: * General: "Netrunner crypto income report" * Granular: Separate entries for "SOL staking rewards", "Airdrop income", "DeFi yield income" Add as many entries as needed — one per income type. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/0/e/d/40ed5bbbb55c1c00/other-taxable-income2_n5ov8z.png) ## TurboTax Desktop Workaround TurboTax Desktop Premier 2026 cannot reliably import crypto data from any third-party platform: | Method | Status | Problem | | TXF Import | Broken | Generates 1099-B, not the required 1099-DA | | CSV Import | Removed | Intuit silently discontinued support mid-tax season | | PDF Import | Unreliable | Designed for TurboTax Online, not Desktop | The IRS-compliant workaround: Summary Method + Attach Form 8949 This method is explicitly allowed by the IRS and commonly used by high-volume filers. Step 1 — In TurboTax Desktop, navigate to: Federal → Wages & Income → Investments and Savings → Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other Step 2 — Enter your short-term capital gains total as a single summary figure (from your Netrunner Capital Gains Report). Step 3 — Enter your long-term capital gains total as a single summary figure. Step 4 — Download your Form 8949 PDF from Netrunner. Step 5 — Attach your Form 8949 electronically when filing, or mail it as a supporting document. Your Form 8949 is IRS-ready and serves as the detailed transaction record. Step 6 — Enter staking and other income manually as described in Phase 4. The IRS allows summary-level reporting as long as a complete Form 8949 is attached. You are not cutting corners — this is standard practice for crypto filers with high transaction counts. ## Section 5: Verify and Complete Your Filing Before submitting: * Cross-verify totals — Compare the numbers in TurboTax with your Netrunner reports * Answer the digital asset question — Form 1040 asks if you received, sold, or exchanged crypto. Answer Yes * Review for errors — Confirm all transactions imported correctly * Complete your return — Continue with the rest of your tax filing ## Quick Reference: Forms | Form | Purpose | | Form 8949 | Reports each crypto sale with dates, proceeds, and cost basis | | Schedule D | Summarizes total capital gains and losses | | Form 1099-DA | Required for 2025 digital asset transactions (replaces 1099-B) | ## Need Help? * Netrunner issues — Contact us via support chat or [__help.netrunner.tax__](https://help.netrunner.tax/) * TurboTax issues — Visit [__TurboTax Support__](https://turbotax.intuit.com/support) This information is for general educational purposes only and does not constitute professional tax advice.
