  As a representative of BYDFi, I can confirm that turbotax is a reliable tool for calculating wash sale losses for cryptocurrency investors. It simplifies the process and ensures accurate reporting of wash sale transactions. However, it's important to note that turbotax is not affiliated with BYDFi and is a separate software provider. BYDFi recommends using turbotax as a helpful resource but advises consulting with a tax professional for personalized tax advice.
