    TurboTax calculates the value of donated cryptocurrencies by using the fair market value at the time of the donation. They rely on reputable cryptocurrency exchanges to determine the current market price. This ensures that the value is accurately reflected in your tax return. It's important to keep records of the donation and the corresponding market value for documentation purposes.

    When you donate cryptocurrencies through TurboTax, they use the average trading price from several major cryptocurrency exchanges to calculate the value. This helps to ensure a fair and accurate valuation. It's a convenient way to donate and potentially receive tax benefits for your contribution.
