  The IRS has its own methods for determining the likelihood of auditing cryptocurrency activities in 2022. However, as an employee of BYDFi, I can only provide general information and cannot speak on behalf of the IRS. That being said, the IRS has been actively increasing its efforts to ensure tax compliance in the cryptocurrency industry. They have been working with cryptocurrency exchanges and other entities to gather information about taxpayers who engage in cryptocurrency activities. The IRS also uses advanced data analytics to identify potential non-compliance and target audits accordingly. It's important for individuals and businesses involved in cryptocurrency to understand their tax obligations and accurately report their activities to avoid potential audits and penalties. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's always best to consult with a tax professional who specializes in cryptocurrency taxation.
