  Reporting stolen cryptocurrency on your taxes can be a complex process. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure you handle it correctly. Generally, you would report the stolen cryptocurrency as a capital loss on your tax return. Provide documentation of the theft, such as police reports or communication with the exchange where the theft occurred. Your tax professional can guide you through the necessary steps to report the loss and potentially claim a deduction.
