Hello, I am a bit confused about the reporting requirements for cryptocurrency transactions. Could you please clarify for me if I need to report whenever I purchase cryptocurrency? If so, are there specific details or thresholds I should be aware of? Additionally, what are the potential consequences of not reporting these transactions? I appreciate your assistance in helping me understand the reporting obligations related to cryptocurrency purchases.

The taxation of cryptocurrency is based on the difference between the purchase price and the sale price. If the sale price is higher than the purchase price, it results in a capital gain, which is taxable.

Conversely, if the sale price is lower than the purchase price, it results in a capital loss. However, capital losses can only be used to offset capital gains in the same tax year.

The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, which means that any transactions involving it are taxed accordingly.
