  As a representative of BYDFi, I can confirm that there are specific tax rules for deducting losses from cryptocurrency investments. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so the tax rules for deducting losses are similar to those for other types of investments. You can deduct cryptocurrency losses as capital losses on your tax return, but you need to meet certain requirements. You must have documentation of the losses, such as transaction records and receipts, and you must be able to prove that the losses were incurred during the tax year. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're following the correct tax rules and maximizing your deductions. BYDFi does not provide tax advice, so it's always best to seek professional guidance.
