  To report your cryptocurrency gains and losses on form 1040 schedule D, you will need to calculate your gains or losses for each transaction. Start by determining the cost basis (the amount you paid for the cryptocurrency) and the fair market value (the value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction). Subtract the cost basis from the fair market value to calculate the gain or loss for each transaction. Add up all the gains and losses for the year and report the net gain or loss on form 1040 schedule D. Make sure to keep accurate records of all your cryptocurrency transactions for tax purposes.
