CoinTracker CSV to TaxAct
TaxAct won't take your CoinTracker CSV directly — TurboTax removed crypto CSV import in January 2026 and the legacy importer capped at ~4,000 rows. Upload your export here and download a TXF that imports without the cap.
Why CoinTracker users get stuck at TaxAct
The CoinTracker details that trip up a clean TaxAct filing — and how the converter handles each.
Note 01
CoinTracker exposes both a Form 8949 CSV and a TurboTax CSV — both carry the same lots and either one uploads here.
Note 02
Lots transferred in from an external wallet often come back with Unknown cost basis when CoinTracker never saw the original purchase.
Note 03
The Tax Loss Harvesting export lists realized gains too, but it isn't a substitute for the Form 8949 report at filing time.

CoinTracker to TaxAct FAQ
Which CoinTracker export should I upload?
Upload the CoinTracker Form 8949 CSV from Tax Center → the tax year → Tax Reports. CoinTracker exposes both a Form 8949 CSV and a TurboTax CSV — both carry the same lots and either one uploads here.
Why doesn't CoinTracker import into TaxAct directly?
TurboTax removed crypto CSV import in January 2026, and TaxAct Desktop only accepts the legacy TXF format that no tracker emits. This tool turns your CoinTracker CSV into a TXF that TaxAct Desktop imports in one step.
Does the 4,000-row limit apply here?
No. The ~4,000-row ceiling was specific to TurboTax's old crypto CSV importer. TXF imports have no row cap, so even a heavy CoinTracker trading year comes through in full.
Are wash sales handled?
If your CSV includes wash sale figures, they pass through using the standard crypto codes (322 short-term, 324 long-term). The IRS has not formally extended the wash sale rule to digital assets for the 2025 filing year, so we honor whatever your source reports rather than inferring new adjustments.
Is my file stored anywhere?
No. Your upload is processed in memory and deleted when the conversion finishes. The output bundle stays available for 24 hours, then is removed. There's no account to create.
Can I import CoinTracker into TaxAct without the TurboTax CSV?
Yes. Upload the CoinTracker Form 8949 CSV here and pick TaxAct — the TXF you download drops straight into TaxAct Desktop, no TurboTax-specific formatting required.
