  Yes, TurboTax can help you accurately calculate your crypto gains and losses for Form 8949. TurboTax Premier and TurboTax Self-Employed editions have a feature called 'Cryptocurrency' that allows you to import your transaction history from supported cryptocurrency exchanges. You can also manually enter your transactions if your exchange is not supported. TurboTax will then calculate your gains and losses based on the information provided and generate the necessary forms for you to report on your tax return. Make sure to review the imported data and double-check for accuracy before finalizing your tax return.
