  Unfortunately, you cannot claim the standard deduction on cryptocurrency gains for MAGI purposes. Cryptocurrency is treated as property by the IRS, and the standard deduction is only applicable to certain types of income. Therefore, you will need to report your cryptocurrency gains as taxable income and pay taxes accordingly. It is important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions and consult with a tax professional for guidance on reporting your gains.
