  Sure! When it comes to cryptocurrency transactions, the IRS treats them as property rather than currency. This means that any gains or losses from cryptocurrency transactions need to be reported on your tax return. In Part II of Schedule 1 (Form 1040), you'll need to report your capital gains or losses from cryptocurrency transactions. The specific details of how to report these transactions can be found in the instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040). Make sure to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions to ensure accurate reporting on your tax return.
