How are taxes (federal and California) calculated for bitcoin transactions? I had a few transactions of the following types: 1. Buy bitcoins, 2. Sell bitcoins, 3. Send bitcoins to a 3rd party. All these transactions were done via CoinBase. If some sell/send transactions resulted in losses and some resulted in gains, shall I subtract losses from gains? Shall I use the FIFO principle to calculate the cost basis for gain/loss?
