- Dec 13, 2021 · 3 years agoAs a representative of BYDFi, I can provide you with some guidance on reporting cryptocurrency gains and losses on your tax return. First, you'll need to gather all of your transaction records, including buys, sells, and trades. Next, you'll want to determine whether each transaction resulted in a gain or a loss. If you sold your cryptocurrency for more than you paid for it, you have a gain. If you sold it for less, you have a loss. You'll then need to calculate the amount of the gain or loss for each transaction by subtracting the cost basis from the sale price. Finally, you'll report these gains or losses on Schedule D of your tax return. It's important to keep accurate records and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax laws.
