I was scammed out of a large amount crypto by sending it to a wallet address. I've reported it to the FBI. How do I deal with it for taxes? I sent it from Coinbase and have the address of where the crypto was sent.

Sorry ---only theft from a Ponzi scheme is deductible on a federal return.

Yes, I know that, but how do I report it on my taxes?

As if I had never had sold it?

After research, I see I don't have to report transfers.
