In the list of securities, as they are, with their name. There is no specific section or code.
The canton does not impose a list: it expects documents that make the return understandable and verifiable.
The rest does not depend on the canton. What is taxable, the value to use as at 31 December, the treatment of staking or airdrops: these rules are federal and apply everywhere in Switzerland. They are explained in the frequently asked questions and in the free guide.
Level 2, in preparation, will go further for the canton of Schwyz: which price to use for a token missing from the Federal Tax Administration's list, where to declare income from staking, lending or airdrops, how to present your cryptocurrencies in your tax return, and which documents to prepare from 31 December.
