  Yes, as a cryptocurrency trader, you are required to report the income from your trading activities that is reported on a 1099-K form. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and any gains or losses from the sale or exchange of cryptocurrency are subject to taxation. It is important to accurately report your income to avoid any potential penalties or legal issues.

  Absolutely! The IRS has been cracking down on cryptocurrency tax evasion in recent years. If you receive a 1099-K form from a cryptocurrency exchange, it means that the exchange has reported your trading activity to the IRS. Failing to report this income can result in penalties and even criminal charges. It's always best to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are meeting your tax obligations.
