  To report virtual currency transactions on your 1040 form, you'll need to include the information on Schedule 1, Additional Income and Adjustments to Income. Specifically, you'll need to fill out Part I, which asks about additional income, and check the box that says 'Virtual currency.' You'll also need to report the fair market value of the virtual currency in U.S. dollars as of the date of the transaction.
