Hello, I'm considering filing my 
cryptocurrency tax return online this year, but I'm not quite sure how to proceed. Could you please provide a step-by-step guide on how to file a cryptocurrency tax return electronically? Specifically, I'm wondering about how to determine the taxable events in my transactions, calculating the value of my crypto holdings, and integrating this information into my tax return. Additionally, I'd appreciate any recommendations for tools or platforms that could simplify the process for me. Thank you for your assistance in navigating this relatively new area of taxation.
