  Reporting cryptocurrency gains or losses on the 8949 form can be a bit confusing, but don't worry, you're not alone! The column f codes are used to categorize different types of transactions, such as short-term or long-term gains or losses. To accurately fill out these codes, you'll need to know the date of acquisition and the date of sale for each transaction. Make sure to keep detailed records of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the purchase price and sale price, to ensure accurate reporting. If you're unsure about how to classify a specific transaction, it's best to consult a tax professional for guidance. 👍
