    Claiming investment losses on your tax return for cryptocurrency investments is similar to claiming losses for other types of investments. You will need to report the loss on your tax return using Form 8949 and Schedule D. It is important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the dates, amounts, and values of your holdings. You will also need to determine the cost basis of your cryptocurrencies and calculate the fair market value at the time of the loss. If you are unsure about how to report your investment losses, it is recommended to seek the advice of a tax professional who is knowledgeable about cryptocurrency taxation.
