Koinly CSV to TaxAct
TaxAct won't take your Koinly 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 Koinly users get stuck at TaxAct
The Koinly details that trip up a clean TaxAct filing — and how the converter handles each.
Note 01
Koinly's Form 8949 CSV and its Complete Tax Report shape the same disposals differently — either uploads here, but the raw transactions ledger is not a Form 8949 export.
Note 02
When wallets aren't fully synced, Koinly marks the affected lots as Unknown cost basis, and those import at zero basis unless you reconcile them first.
Note 03
Free Koinly plans preview your gains but gate the CSV download behind a paid tier — the export you get still converts here the same way.
How it works
Four steps. Preview and reconciliation are free — you only pay to download.

Koinly to TaxAct FAQ
Which Koinly export should I upload?
Upload the Koinly Form 8949 CSV from Tax Reports → Form 8949 report (or the Complete Tax Report). Koinly's Form 8949 CSV and its Complete Tax Report shape the same disposals differently — either uploads here, but the raw transactions ledger is not a Form 8949 export.
Why doesn't Koinly 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 Koinly 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 Koinly 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.
Does the same Koinly export work for TaxAct?
Yes. Upload the Koinly Form 8949 CSV and choose the TaxAct path — you get a TXF that imports into TaxAct Desktop via File → Import → From TXF File. The lots and terms are identical to the TurboTax output; only the destination differs.
