  Sure! In 2014, the IRS considered cryptocurrency investments as property rather than currency. This means that any gains or losses from cryptocurrency transactions were subject to capital gains tax. To report your cryptocurrency investments, you would need to fill out Schedule D of Form 1040, which is used for reporting capital gains and losses. Additionally, if you received any cryptocurrency as payment for goods or services, you would need to report the fair market value of the cryptocurrency as income on your tax return. It's important to keep detailed records of your cryptocurrency transactions to accurately calculate your gains or losses.
