You would claim them on you taxes as a capital gain – under stocks, just like a trade.

BITCOIN entry on the online version - You would treat it as a Capital Gain.  

  • This is found under the "Income" Tab - drop down menu to "Investments" and start there.
  • Your Capital Gains Profile for 2017 - check - Sold stocks, bonds, real estate, other capital property, or sold qualified small business corporation shares and/or qualified farm property and you have a capital gain or loss to report
  • Click continue
  • Capital Gains - Type of capital property disposed of - select - Mutual fund/publicly traded shares/stocks. 
  • And continue on from there.
