I've been investing in 
Bitcoin recently, and I've experienced some losses. I'm wondering if there's a way to claim these losses, maybe for tax purposes or something. Is it possible to claim losses on Bitcoin?

    Reporting crypto sales allows the IRS to ensure that all taxable income is accurately accounted for.

    Taxpayers can utilize losses from cryptocurrency transactions to offset any capital gains they may have realized.

    This offset can include future capital gains, provided there is an applicable carryover from previous years.

    The Internal Revenue Service mandates that individuals report all transactions involving the sale of cryptocurrencies.
