I'm using TurboTax to file my taxes, and I've heard that wash sale losses are disallowed for cryptocurrencies. Is there any way to avoid this disallowance in TurboTax when trading cryptocurrencies?

    Unfortunately, TurboTax does not currently have a built-in feature to handle wash sale losses for cryptocurrencies. However, you can manually adjust your tax return by reporting the disallowed losses and adjusting your cost basis accordingly. It's important to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure you're accurately reporting your cryptocurrency trades and complying with tax regulations.
