I bet the IRS data is wrong.

After all, it's not as if Schedule D [0] or Form 8949 [1] has a standardized way to report it.

There's no official ticker symbol, so you just write in a description.

I paid capital gains taxes on trading in 2015, and I wrote in something like "gain on sale of digital currency".

I can't believe I'm one of just 802 people to have paid taxes on these transactions.
