As a cryptocurrency investor, I'm curious about the tax implications of receiving gifted cryptocurrency. Specifically, am I obligated to pay taxes on the value of the gifted coins at the time of receipt? Or is it taxed only when I decide to sell or transfer those coins? Further, do I need to keep track of the cost basis for those gifted coins, and if so, how would I determine it? I'm also wondering if there are any special tax exemptions or deductions I can claim for cryptocurrency gifts, or if they're taxed at a different rate than if I had purchased the coins myself. Clarifying these points would greatly assist me in navigating the complex tax landscape surrounding cryptocurrency transactions.

It is important to note that exceeding the $16,000 limit per recipient may subject the excess amount to taxation.
