  Unfortunately, gas fees on cryptocurrency transactions are generally not eligible for tax deductions. The IRS treats gas fees as part of the cost basis of your cryptocurrency holdings, rather than a separate deductible expense. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for specific advice regarding your individual situation.
