  TurboTax calculates the cost of reporting cryptocurrency gains and losses in 2022 by using the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method. This means that the cost basis of the first cryptocurrency you acquired is used to calculate the gains or losses when you sell or dispose of your cryptocurrency. TurboTax takes into account the date and time of each transaction to determine the order in which the cryptocurrencies were acquired. It then calculates the taxable amount by subtracting the cost basis from the sale proceeds or fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of disposal. This information is used to generate the necessary tax forms and reports for your cryptocurrency transactions.
