Title: So I'm staring at the MtGox 3 page post card, the loss, and IRS 2014 Post by: soy on December 04, 2014, 05:05:24 PM Any opinions as to the safest way to apply the MtGox loss to this year's income tax? Perhaps a wash sale/repurchase of all BTC and apply the loss?

Maybe simply calling and asking, they have always been very helpful to me. Did MtGox send a 1099? or will they?

On top of that if they don't follow the law they may disappear with your money when they get shut down Title: Re: So I'm staring at the MtGox 3 page post card, the loss, and IRS 2014 Post by: MNDan on December 05, 2014, 07:34:34 PM Here are some thoughts on the subject...
