Good day, I'm curious about the tax implications of cryptocurrency investments. Specifically, I'm wondering if I have to report my cryptocurrency transactions on my taxes, even if I lost money. Is there a certain threshold for losses that would exempt me from reporting, or do I need to include all of my transactions, regardless of whether I made a profit or a loss? I'd appreciate any clarity you can provide on this matter. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

For US taxpayers, if the total capital losses from cryptocurrency transactions exceed the total capital gains, the difference can be deducted from taxable income.

For married couples filing jointly, the deduction limit remains at $3,000, but it's important to note that if they file separately, the limit is halved to $1,500 per spouse.
