It shouldn't be difficult, unless you don't have access to the proper information. The bitcoins you are selling need to be tied to specific bitcoins that were bought. Once you do that, then you have a cost basis for your sale. Subtract the amount you sold them for from your cost basis and that's your gains. If the source transaction was older than a year, it's capital gains. Otherwise, it's income.
