  Reporting cryptocurrency gains and losses on Schedule D of Form 1040 is similar to reporting gains and losses from stocks or other investments. You'll need to fill out Form 8949 to report each individual transaction and then transfer the totals to Schedule D. Make sure to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the purchase and sale dates, the cost basis, and the fair market value at the time of each transaction.
