eToro 1099-B Into TurboTax: Stocks, Crypto, and the Missing Import Button

You open TurboTax, get to the investment income section, and type "eToro" into the broker search. Nothing. You try "eToro USA Securities." Still nothing. Meanwhile you're sitting on a tax package with hundreds of trades — some stocks, some crypto, a bunch of them placed automatically by the traders you copy — and TurboTax is cheerfully suggesting you enter them one at a time.

Two separate problems are stacking on top of each other here. First, eToro US has no direct TurboTax import — it's simply not an import partner, so no login flow will ever appear. Second, since the 2025 tax year your eToro activity arrives on two different forms: stocks and ETFs on the 1099-B, crypto on the new 1099-DA. Each goes into a different part of TurboTax. This guide untangles both.

What Tax Forms eToro US Actually Sends

eToro USA operates two entities — eToro USA Securities for stocks/ETFs and eToro USA LLC for crypto — and your tax package reflects that split:

Form	What's on it	Where it goes in TurboTax
1099-B	Stock and ETF sales: proceeds, cost basis, holding periods, wash sales	Investment income → Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other
1099-DA	Crypto sales (tax year 2025 onward): proceeds, and basis where eToro has it	Investment income → Crypto
1099-DIV	Dividends from your stock positions	Dividends section
1099-MISC	Referral bonuses, staking-type income	Other income

Before the 2025 tax year, eToro reported crypto proceeds differently (often on a 1099-B or just a gains report). The 1099-DA is the big change — it's the IRS's new digital-asset broker form, and the split matters because TurboTax treats the two forms as separate interviews. The background on what changed and why is in our guide to 1099-B vs 1099-DA.

Where to download everything: log in on the eToro website (not the app — documents are easier on web) → Settings → Account → Tax Documents (or Documents → Tax Center, depending on interface version). Forms post by mid-February; corrections can follow into March.

Why There's No Import Button

eToro simply isn't in TurboTax's institution catalog for direct 1099 import. No credentials will work because there's no connection to log into. That leaves three real options for the 1099-B side, in increasing order of robustness:

1. Manual entry — fine for a handful of trades, hopeless for a copy-trading account
2. Summary totals — fast, IRS-compliant, small catch about attachments
3. Convert the PDF to TXF/CSV — full itemized import without any broker connection

If you copy traders or used Smart Portfolios, brace for volume: every position your copied trader opened and closed is your taxable trade, pro-rated to your allocation. Copying one active day trader for a year can put a thousand lines on your 1099-B. That's the same beast covered in large 1099-B with too many transactions.

Option 1: Summary Totals for the 1099-B

In TurboTax: investment income → "I'll type it myself" → select sales section totals. Enter one line per box category from the summary page of your eToro 1099-B — short-term covered (Box A), long-term covered (Box D), and any noncovered categories if present.

• No wash sale adjustments (box 1g empty): covered-category summaries need no attachment and nothing mailed. Two lines and you're done.
• With wash sales: TurboTax asks you to attach a PDF of the 1099-B or mail it with Form 8453 after e-filing. Copy trading makes wash sales likely — the same tickers get bought and sold repeatedly across the traders you copy. The mechanics are in the summary totals guide.

Reconcile the totals you type against the form's summary page character by character. The IRS matches your return against what eToro filed — a transposed digit is a CP2000 letter next year.

Option 2: Convert the 1099-B PDF and Import Every Trade

For an itemized Form 8949 without manual typing:

1. Download the 1099-B PDF from eToro's tax documents page
2. Convert it to TXF and import into TurboTax Desktop (File → Import → From Accounting Software), or to CSV for TaxAct and other software
3. Verify the imported totals match the 1099-B summary page

Since there's no direct connection to compete with, this is effectively the only way to get line-by-line eToro data into TurboTax without typing it. It preserves acquisition dates, holding periods, and wash sale adjustments exactly as reported. Full walkthrough: how to import a 1099-B into TurboTax with TXF. Format trade-offs, if your software isn't TurboTax Desktop: CSV vs TXF vs Excel.

Handling the Crypto Side: the 1099-DA

Your eToro crypto sales go into TurboTax's crypto section, not the stock section — TurboTax runs a separate interview for digital assets and asks the "did you receive, sell, or exchange digital assets" question that maps to the 1040 checkbox.

Three eToro-specific things to watch:

1. Basis may be incomplete. 1099-DA basis reporting is being phased in, and for coins you bought before 2025 (or transferred in), eToro may report proceeds with unknown or missing cost basis. You're still entitled to your real basis — pull your eToro account statement or purchase history and fill it in, otherwise the IRS default treats the entire proceeds as gain.

2. Don't double-report older years' crypto. If you're amending or catching up on pre-2025 returns, eToro's crypto reporting worked differently — check what form (if any) was issued for that year before assuming a 1099-DA exists.

3. TurboTax crypto import limits apply. The crypto interview accepts CSV uploads in TurboTax's own template; heavy traders hit row caps and formatting rejections. The workarounds are the same family as the 1099-B ones — see the 1099-DA import guide for the current state of what works.

Filed both sides? Check the math once more: 1099-B totals land on Schedule D via Form 8949 alongside the 1099-DA totals. If the combined Schedule D looks off against your two summary pages, sort it out before filing — 1099-B doesn't match Schedule D covers the usual suspects.

Copy Trading: the Tax Wrinkles Nobody Warns You About

Every copied trade is your trade. The IRS doesn't care that an algorithm mirrored someone else's decision — each closed position is a disposal with your pro-rated proceeds and basis, on your form.

Stopping a copy is a liquidation. When you stop copying a trader, eToro closes all the copied positions. Users are routinely surprised to find dozens of sales dated the day they clicked "stop copy."

Wash sales cascade. If two traders you copy both churn the same popular ticker — or one rebuys within 30 days of another's loss sale — you get wash sale adjustments across your combined account. They're calculated on the 1099-B; your only job is carrying them through intact. Background: understanding wash sales on your 1099-B.

FAQ

Why can't I find eToro in TurboTax's import list?

eToro US isn't a TurboTax import partner. There's no direct connection — your options are summary totals, converting the PDF to TXF/CSV, or manual entry.

Does eToro report my crypto on the 1099-B?

Not anymore. From tax year 2025, crypto sales are on Form 1099-DA; the 1099-B covers only stocks and ETFs. They're entered in different TurboTax sections.

My 1099-DA shows no cost basis for coins I bought years ago. Do I owe tax on the full amount?

No — missing basis on the form doesn't mean zero basis. Reconstruct it from your eToro purchase history and enter it; you're taxed only on the actual gain.

I copied a trader all year. Why is my 1099-B enormous?

Every trade your copied trader made was executed pro-rata in your account, and each closed position is a line on your form. High-frequency copied traders generate hundreds or thousands of lines.

Can I just enter summary totals for eToro stocks?

Yes — sales section totals per box category are fully compliant. With wash sale adjustments you'll attach or mail the 1099-B detail; without them, nothing extra is needed.

Which TurboTax version do I need?

Premier/Premium at minimum for investment sales. For TXF import of the 1099-B, specifically TurboTax Desktop — Online doesn't accept TXF.

Bottom Line

eToro's tax package splits your account down the middle: stocks and ETFs on a 1099-B that TurboTax can't import directly, and crypto on a 1099-DA that goes through an entirely separate interview — with basis gaps you may need to fill from your own records. Neither half has a magic import button, but neither requires typing hundreds of trades either.

For the 1099-B: summary totals if your form is clean, PDF-to-TXF conversion if you want it itemized or have wash sales worth documenting. For the 1099-DA: TurboTax's crypto section, with your reconstructed basis where eToro reported none. Reconcile both against their summary pages, and the copy-trading volume stops being a problem.
