  As a representative of BYDFi, I can provide some insights into reporting cryptocurrency gains and losses on form 6781 in 2024. It's essential to understand that the IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property, not currency, for tax purposes. This means that each transaction involving cryptocurrencies, such as buying, selling, or exchanging, may trigger a taxable event. When reporting on form 6781, you should include all your cryptocurrency transactions, even if they involve different exchanges or platforms. It's crucial to accurately calculate your gains and losses and report them in the appropriate section of the form. If you have any doubts or questions, it's always recommended to consult with a tax professional who specializes in cryptocurrency taxation to ensure compliance with the IRS guidelines.
