  When it comes to filling out form 8949 for cryptocurrency transactions, there are indeed specific guidelines and requirements that you need to follow. Firstly, you need to report each transaction separately, including the date, type of cryptocurrency, and the amount bought or sold. You also need to calculate the gain or loss for each transaction and report it accordingly. Additionally, if you received any cryptocurrency as a gift or through a hard fork, you need to report it as well. Lastly, it's important to keep accurate records of all your cryptocurrency transactions, as the IRS may request them for auditing purposes. If you have any doubts or need further clarification, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional.
