  When it comes to calculating capital gains and losses, TurboTax uses the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method by default. However, you can choose other methods like LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) or specific identification if applicable. TurboTax also takes into account any wash sales, which occur when you sell a cryptocurrency at a loss and repurchase it within a certain timeframe. It helps you accurately report your capital gains and losses while minimizing your tax liability.
