  Yes, you can request an extension for reporting your cryptocurrency gains and losses on TurboTax. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows taxpayers to file for an extension using Form 4868. This form grants an additional six months to file your tax return, giving you more time to gather and report your cryptocurrency transactions. However, it's important to note that an extension only applies to the filing deadline, not the payment deadline. If you owe taxes on your cryptocurrency gains, you may still need to pay by the original deadline to avoid penalties and interest.

  Absolutely! If you need more time to report your cryptocurrency gains and losses on TurboTax, you can file for an extension. Simply fill out Form 4868 and submit it to the IRS before the original deadline. This will give you an extra six months to complete your tax return. Just remember that while an extension gives you more time to file, it doesn't give you more time to pay any taxes owed. If you anticipate owing taxes, it's best to estimate and pay them by the original deadline to avoid penalties.
