Hello, I'm wondering about how to properly report cryptocurrency transaction fees for tax purposes. Could you explain the process in detail? Do I need to report each individual fee or can I group them together? Are there any specific forms I need to fill out? And how do I calculate the total value of the fees to include in my tax return? I appreciate your help with this matter.

Depending on whether you are buying or selling cryptocurrency, these fees can be included in the cost basis or subtracted from the proceeds, respectively.

If you are able to deduct transaction fees from your crypto proceeds, it can help to reduce your taxable income and lower your overall tax bill.

Typically, crypto transactions are reported on IRS Form 8949, which outlines the details of each transaction, including the date, proceeds, and cost basis.
