Cryptocurrency has become one of the most controversial topics for investors. While people may disagree about whether you should invest in cryptocurrency, one thing is certain – cryptocurrency transactions are subject to taxation.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) treats cryptocurrency as property.As such, it is treated for tax purposes similar to a stock. If you purchase cryptocurrency as an investment and sell it for a profit, you must report such profit as part of your investment income on your tax return.

Such investment income is only one source of cryptocurrency income (“crypto income”). Crypto income can arise in many different forms.

One example is from a cryptocurrency “mining” transaction where you receive cryptocurrency for doing work on the blockchain ledger. The receipt of such “mining” cryptocurrency is crypto income.

Another example is from a cryptocurrency “airdrop” transaction where you receive cryptocurrency from a company for its marketing or promotional purposes. The receipt of such “airdrop” cryptocurrency is crypto income.

A third example is from a transaction where you receive payment for goods or services in cryptocurrency. In these transactions, the cryptocurrency is treated for tax purposes similar to cash. If received as payment for goods, the cryptocurrency is crypto income to the extent it exceeds your tax basis in the goods. If received as payment for services, the cryptocurrency is fully crypto income as compensation.

Regardless of the specific form, crypto income is taxable income to the IRS.

If you received crypto income, but did not include it on your tax return, you have unreported crypto income.

Unreported crypto income is treated the same as other types of unreported income by the IRS. It can expose you to significant adverse consequences.

First, if you have unreported crypto income, you will be subject to interest and civil penalties on the unpaid tax liability with respect to the unreported crypto income.

Second, if you have unreported crypto income, you will be subject to IRS collection procedures, including tax audits, wage garnishments, bank levies, and seizures of assets.

Third, if you have unreported crypto income, you may be subject to criminal prosecution and possible fines and incarceration. Unreported crypto income is against the law.

As evidence that the IRS is becoming more concerned with cryptocurrency transactions, the question – “At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?” – appears on the first page of year 2020 Form 1040 tax returns.

In addition,in year 2021, the IRS announced the formation of “Operation Hidden Treasure”, consisting of a dedicated team of IRS fraud enforcement and criminal investigation professionals to address cases of unreported crypto income.

What should you do if you have unreported crypto income?

The response should not be to ignore the issue; putting your head in the sand will only exacerbate the problem.
