  One way to handle too many transactions on Form 8949 is to use a tax software specifically designed for cryptocurrency traders. These software programs can automatically import your transaction data from exchanges and generate the necessary reports for tax filing. They often have features that allow you to categorize and group transactions, making it easier to fit them on the form. Some popular tax software for cryptocurrency traders include CoinTracking, CryptoTrader.Tax, and Bitcoin.Tax.

  If you don't want to use tax software, another option is to summarize your transactions on Form 8949. Instead of listing every single transaction, you can group them by exchange or by month. For example, you can list the total number of transactions and the total cost basis for each exchange or month. This way, you can provide a summary of your trading activity without overwhelming the form with individual transactions.
