So, you're a professional in the field of cryptocurrency and finance, huh? I've been hearing a lot about crypto lately, and I'm just curious...does the IRS know if you bought crypto? I mean, with all the talk about taxes and regulations these days, I can't imagine they'd be too happy if they found out you were investing in something they might consider a taxable asset. So, do they know? And if they do, what are the consequences? I'm just trying to understand the ins and outs of this whole crypto world, you know? Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated. Does the IRS know if you bought crypto?

If a user's proceeds exceed $20,000 and they conduct at least 200 transactions on the exchange, the exchange must issue a 1099-K or 1099-B form.

These forms serve as a record of the user's transactions and proceeds, and must be submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by the exchange.
