Kraken CSV to TurboTax

TurboTax won't take your Kraken 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 Kraken users get stuck at TurboTax

The Kraken details that trip up a clean TurboTax filing — and how the converter handles each.

Note 01

Kraken's account Ledgers export is a raw activity log — use the Kraken tax/gain-loss CSV so proceeds and basis are already paired per disposal.

Note 02

Kraken issues a 1099-DA to some US users for tax year 2025; if you have that PDF instead of a CSV, the 1099-DA converter handles it.

Note 03

Staking rewards and airdrops are ordinary income at receipt and don't belong on Form 8949 — only the later disposal of those coins does.

Kraken to TurboTax FAQ

Which Kraken export should I upload?

Upload the Kraken tax / gain-loss CSV from History → Export, or your Kraken tax statement. Kraken's account Ledgers export is a raw activity log — use the Kraken tax/gain-loss CSV so proceeds and basis are already paired per disposal.

Why doesn't Kraken import into TurboTax directly?

TurboTax removed crypto CSV import in January 2026, and TurboTax Desktop only accepts the legacy TXF format that no tracker emits. This tool turns your Kraken CSV into a TXF that TurboTax 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 Kraken 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.

Kraken gave me a 1099-DA, not a CSV — which do I use?

Either works, on a different path. If you have the Kraken tax/gain-loss CSV, upload it here and get a TXF. If Kraken issued you a 1099-DA PDF for 2025, use the 1099-DA converter instead — it reads the PDF and reconciles Unknown basis before writing the TXF.

Got a different crypto CSV? The CSV to TXF Converter handles every source. Open the CSV to TXF Converter.
