Understanding Cryptocurrency Reporting Requirements

There is a common misconception that cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous and therefore do not need to be reported. However, all major exchanges, such as Coinbase and Gemini, are required to report transactions to the IRS, making it critical for individuals to understand their reporting obligations. Properly reporting crypto taxes involves careful aggregation of data from multiple exchanges and wallets to ensure accuracy. Many taxpayers struggle with this process, often leading to mistakes due to the complexity of tracking numerous transactions and transfers.
