What Can Crypto traders Write Off?

Short answer: Crypto traders can't use trader mark-to-market election for crypto in most cases; trading software, data feeds, and advice fees are generally nondeductible investment costs.

Investment expenses aren't deductible for individuals; capital losses offset gains plus $3,000 of ordinary income.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
