    When it comes to reporting cryptocurrency gains and losses on Form 8949, there are a few specific guidelines you should keep in mind. First, you need to report each transaction separately, including the date, type of cryptocurrency, and the amount of gain or loss. Second, you need to calculate the gain or loss in USD using the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction. Third, you need to report the total gains and losses on Schedule D of your tax return. It's important to stay organized and keep track of your transactions to ensure accurate reporting.
