With the April 18 tax deadline coming up fast, TurboTax users who trade cryptocurrency can now import crypto transactions automatically from exchanges.

This story is part of Taxes 2022, CNET's coverage of the best tax software and everything else you need to get your return filed quickly, accurately and on-time.

Tax software provider TurboTax has partnered with CoinTracker, a cryptocurrency tax and portfolio software provider, to expand features for TurboTax users who need to report crypto transactions on income taxes. 

The partnership, announced Wednesday, will allow TurboTax users to automatically import their crypto transactions from select cryptocurrency exchanges -- including Gemini, FTX, Coinbase Pro and Binance.US -- into their TurboTax profile.

From there, users can pull together a complete portfolio of crypto assets that will sync with TurboTax's tax filing software.
