I'm curious, when it comes to cryptocurrency, do I have to report any gains or income from it on my tax returns? Is there a specific threshold that I need to reach before I need to start reporting it? And what about losses? How do I handle those on my taxes? I'm new to this and just want to make sure I'm staying compliant with all the rules and regulations surrounding cryptocurrency and taxes.

Additionally, there are referral programs where users can earn a certain amount of cryptocurrency, such as $5 in bitcoin, for inviting their friends to join a crypto exchange.

It's important to note that these rewards and incentives are considered taxable income, and users must report them accordingly.

On the other hand, if you're simply holding cryptocurrency, there's no immediate gain or loss until you sell or trade it.

Therefore, in this scenario, the cryptocurrency is not subject to taxation until a disposition event occurs.
