  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that creating a capital gains worksheet for cryptocurrency investments is crucial for accurate reporting. Here are the key components you should include: 1. Transaction details: Date, type of cryptocurrency, quantity bought or sold, purchase/sale price, and transaction fees/commissions. 2. Cost basis: The amount you paid for the cryptocurrency, including purchase price, fees, and other costs. 3. Fair market value: The value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction, which can be determined using reputable price indexes or exchanges. 4. Capital gain/loss: Calculate the difference between the fair market value and the cost basis to determine your capital gain or loss for each transaction. Remember to keep detailed records and consult with a tax professional for any specific guidance related to your situation.
