I invested in some cryptocurrencies but recently experienced significant losses. I'm wondering how I can properly claim these losses for tax purposes or potential insurance claims.

The loss must also be the outcome of a completed transaction. This signifies that the transaction, leading to the loss, has been finalized.

Examples of completed transactions include the permanent sale, exchange, or abandonment of the cryptocurrency. These actions must have been undertaken for the loss to be deductible.

The loss must stem from a specific and identifiable event. This means that you can pinpoint the exact cause of the loss.

Additionally, the loss must have occurred within the current tax year. Losses from previous years cannot be carried over or deducted in the current tax period.
