I've been trading cryptocurrencies for a while now, and I'm a bit worried about taxes. If I don't report my crypto transactions to the IRS, will they ever find out? I know it's my responsibility to pay my taxes, but I'm just curious if there's any way they could potentially track my activity without me actively reporting it. Also, if they do find out, what kind of consequences could I face? I'm trying to be responsible and make sure I'm doing everything correctly, but I'm just a bit nervous about the potential consequences.

Cryptocurrency transactions and holdings are also included in taxable income. This means that if a taxpayer fails to report their cryptocurrency-related income, the IRS can audit them.
