Could you please elaborate on the tax implications of a stolen cryptocurrency? As an investor, I'm concerned about potential losses from security breaches and want to understand if there's any way to mitigate the financial impact. Specifically, I'm wondering if there's a process or procedure I could follow to write off any lost digital assets for tax purposes. Would this involve filing a specific form or providing documentation to the tax authorities? Additionally, are there any specific requirements or criteria that need to be met in order to qualify for such a write-off? Your insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.

This method, while not ideal, may provide some tax relief in the form of an exemption.

Unfortunately, if the theft is classified as a theft loss, it's generally not possible to write it off for tax purposes.
