  Another mistake to avoid is underestimating the value of your cryptocurrency holdings. The IRS requires you to report the fair market value of your crypto assets, even if you haven't cashed them out. Use reputable sources to determine the value of your cryptocurrencies on the day of the transaction.

  Don't forget to report your crypto-to-crypto trades. While these transactions don't involve traditional currency, they are still taxable events. Keep track of the fair market value of both the cryptocurrency you traded and the one you received in return.
