  Yes, you can deduct Bitcoin losses on your taxes, but there are certain limitations. The IRS allows you to deduct your losses up to the amount of your capital gains. If your losses exceed your gains, you can deduct up to $3,000 of the excess losses against your other income. Any remaining losses can be carried forward to future years. It's important to keep accurate records of your transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure you are following the proper guidelines.
