  Claiming a capital loss deduction on your cryptocurrency investments is similar to claiming a deduction for any other investment losses. You will need to report the losses on your tax return and provide documentation to support your claim. Keep track of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the purchase and sale dates, as well as the cost basis and fair market value at the time of the transactions. This information will be necessary when calculating your capital losses and claiming the deduction.
