–Got taxes filed. Tried Free Tax USA to verify Turbotax; it said I need to enter crypto (I thought Turbotax said I didn’t need to enter stuff, even after I told them I did crypto). Anyway, back to Turbotax, where I had to upgrade to Premier for another $35 so it could read Coinbase and Robinhood .csv files without me having to hand-enter data. I had to fiddle with both files, as they had incomplete info. I can’t imagine how the IRS is going to deal with all this crypto stuff–83 exchanges, people moving stuff, buying, selling, swapping, converting, etc. Transaction files from any one exchange will be absurdly misleading. I suppose, truth be told, it’s on the individual taxpayer to keep good records. So I’m doomed: when I last tried to reconcile everything a few weeks ago, it didn’t work. It’ll be worse going forward. Maybe, if I stay with Bitcoin, and don’t sell until 2026, I can fake it.
