  Yes, you may be able to deduct crypto transaction fees on your taxes. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so transaction fees can be considered a cost of acquiring or selling the property. To claim this deduction, you'll need to itemize your deductions on Schedule A of your tax return. Make sure to keep records of your transaction fees, including the date, amount, and purpose of the fee. Consult with a tax professional or use tax software to ensure you're accurately reporting your deductions.

  Absolutely! Crypto transaction fees can be deducted on your taxes. Just like any other investment, transaction fees are considered a cost of doing business. You can deduct these fees as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A of your tax return. However, keep in mind that miscellaneous deductions are subject to a 2% of adjusted gross income (AGI) threshold. So, make sure to calculate whether your total miscellaneous deductions exceed this threshold before claiming the deduction.
