Is Basic different from Professional? In Professional you can get the transaction to be reported with Box C. Just answer "no" when asked if reported on Form 1099-B.
As for attaching their Form 8949, I would not do it. I had a client with Coinbase in today and this is what I did. I took the Excel spreadsheet and did a little reformatting. It took less than 5 minutes to do. I got rid of the columns with the worthless info, such as transaction ID, etc. I moved everything down so I had room for a header where I added the client's name and SSN and a description "2022 Coinbase Short-Term Transactions Not Reported on Form 1099-B". I formatted the purchase, sales, and gain columns to two decimal places. Then at the bottom I totaled these columns with a column footer (Total Sales Price, Total Purchase Price, Net Gain/Loss) and attached this document as a pdf to the return. On the Schedule D worksheet, for the description I put "Coinbase Transactions - See Attached", entered the total sales price and total cost basis, and made sure I checked "no" when asked if reported on Form 1099-B. Since these were all short-term, for date sold I put "12/31/21" and for date acquired I put "Various", while indicating "S" for the holding period.
