  Yes, you can deduct the value of gifted crypto from your taxable income. According to the IRS, cryptocurrencies are treated as property for tax purposes. If you received crypto as a gift, the fair market value of the crypto at the time of the gift is considered your basis. When you sell or dispose of the gifted crypto, you will need to report any capital gains or losses on your tax return. It's important to keep accurate records of the gift and its value to support your deduction.

  Yes, you can deduct the value of gifted crypto from your taxable income. However, it's important to note that the deduction is subject to certain limitations. The IRS allows you to deduct up to 30% of your adjusted gross income for charitable contributions, which includes gifted crypto. If the value of the gifted crypto exceeds this limit, you may be able to carry forward the excess deduction to future tax years. It's recommended to consult with a tax advisor for specific guidance on deducting gifted crypto from your taxable income.
