How To File Your Trades With Turbo Tax
TurboTax only allows you to import Form 8949. If you are marked-to-market, you will not be able to import the Form 4797. You can attach it to your file as a PDF.
TraderFyles integrates directly into TurboTax (CD/Download/Desktop) to make it easier for investors to report trading activity on their tax returns. Users can now automatically import data created in TraderFyles to their TurboTax (CD/Download/Desktop) account.
TurboTax Online users, follow these steps here.
First, generate a new tax report using either 1099-B Match or Audit My Broker by clicking 'New Report', whichever reporting tool meets your needs. Then, review the data. After the data looks correct and your profit/loss looks correct, click 'Generate Documents' .
Next, choose 'Turbo Tax Integration Report' from the options and click 'Confirm'.
Start your tax return in TurboTax (CD/Download/Desktop). Note that the transaction limit using this version of turbo tax is 10,000. If you are above 10,000 transactions, refer to the instructions here for sending your Form 8949 separately.
