Deduction

@ Amajette34 thank you for the question. This question is just broad enough that I may not be answering your question fully, so please supplement if this is not answering your question fully. 

The two areas to look at are:

 

1. Up to $3,000 per year in capital losses can be claimed. Losses exceeding $3,000 can be carried over to future tax returns for deduction against future capital gains taxes.

 

2. If you itemize your deductions, you may donate cryptocurrency to qualified charitable organizations and claim a tax deduction. You typically can deduct the fair market value of your cryptocurrency at the time of charitable contribution, and you don’t have to pay capital gains taxes when you donate.

 

Cryptocurrency charitable contributions are treated as noncash charitable contributions. A charitable organization may assist in documenting your crypto-charitable contribution by providing a written acknowledgement if claiming a deduction of $250 or more for the virtual currency deduction.

 

If you itemize, you may be able to claim a deduction for your investment interest expenses—the interest paid on money borrowed to purchase taxable investments. This includes the interest on margin loans used to buy cryptocurrency.    The amount that you can deduct is capped at your net taxable investment income for the year. Any leftover interest expense gets carried forward to the next year and potentially can be used to reduce taxes in the future.
