Hi everyone,
I'm just a little confused about what I need to do. So I do understand the loss from the cryptocurrency (investment purpose) can be carried on to the next years to take down the capital gains. On Tax Year 2017, I've lost $2982.80 and on Tax Year 2018, I've lost $1752.03.
During that time, I didn't think that cryptocurrency was going to be taxed, and forgot about it ever since and did not report it to ATO till now.
I do my taxes myself, and I want to figure out whether I'm supposed to amend the previous years and include those losses, or wait till the 2019-2020 tax report time, and report it then. I am quite lost on what category I must add this to if I was to amend the past reports.
Expertise and insight from someone who knows a lot about this would be greatly appreciated!
Amend prior year returns. Claim capital loss. Just be mindful of the amendment time limits. (read: don't wait)
