  Not reporting cryptocurrency transactions on your tax return can have serious consequences. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, so failing to report it is similar to not reporting income from other sources. You could be subject to penalties, fines, and even criminal charges for tax evasion. It's important to consult with a tax professional to understand your obligations and ensure compliance with tax laws.
