  Reporting cryptocurrency gains and losses on Robinhood Form 8949 can be a bit confusing, but there are some general guidelines you can follow. First, you'll need to determine whether your cryptocurrency transactions qualify as capital gains or losses. If you held the cryptocurrency for less than a year before selling, it will be considered a short-term capital gain or loss. If you held it for more than a year, it will be considered a long-term capital gain or loss. You'll then need to report the transactions on Form 8949 and transfer the totals to Schedule D of your tax return. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're accurately reporting your cryptocurrency transactions.
