There are seven options for form downloads:

  1. CSV - This version is for users who are looking to review their data, and need to utilize tools that break up their data in a spreadsheet format. 
  2. PDF - This version is for users who are looking to download their forms in the official IRS format with all of the data already filled out. This option is popular with users who have a CPA who needs their Form 8949. Note: Users who have a large transaction volume will need to use the CSV option. 
  3. TurboTax (Online) CSV - This version is for users of the TurboTax online website who need a pre-formatted file and instructions for importing into TurboTax. You’ll get two files when you select this option; one is Form 8949 in a CSV file type and the other is instructions for importing.
    Please Note: When you are ready to import your TurboTax Online CSV, you will need to unzip the folder you download from TaxBit. Attempting to upload files that are zipped will not work in TurboTax.
  4. TurboTax (Desktop) TXF - This version is for users who have the TurboTax application installed on their Desktop. The download will be in TXF format, which won’t open if you attempt to view the file outside of TurboTax. 
  5. TaxAct CSV - This version is for users who need a pre-formatted file and instructions for importing into TaxAct.
  6. Wolters Kluwer CSV - This version is for users who need a pre-formatted file in the Wolters Kluwer format.
  7. Cash App CSV - See our article "Filing with Cash App Taxes"

What if I have over 4,000 transactions for the year?

If you have over 4,000 transactions the option to download a "TurboTax Aggregated CSV" will be available. This option provides a PDF version of your 8949 along with an aggregated CSV. A screen like the one below will appear and you'll hit "Continue" to begin the process of downloading your 8949.
