    Failing to report cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS can have serious consequences. The IRS considers cryptocurrency to be property, not currency, and therefore subject to capital gains tax. If individuals fail to report their cryptocurrency transactions, they may be subject to penalties, fines, and even criminal charges. It's important to accurately report all cryptocurrency transactions to avoid these potential consequences.

    If you fail to report your cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS, you could be audited and face penalties. The IRS has been cracking down on cryptocurrency tax evasion in recent years, and they have the ability to track cryptocurrency transactions through blockchain analysis. It's best to be proactive and report your cryptocurrency transactions accurately to avoid any issues with the IRS.
