  Yes, you generally need to report losses from cryptocurrency trading on your taxes. The IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property, so any gains or losses from trading or selling cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains tax. If you have incurred losses, you can use them to offset any capital gains you may have. It's important to keep track of your transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure you are reporting your losses correctly.
