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.

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