  Yes, you are required to report your cryptocurrency transactions on your tax return. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so any gains or losses from buying, selling, or exchanging cryptocurrency are subject to taxation. To report your transactions, you will need to calculate your gains or losses and include them on your tax return. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional or use tax software to ensure accurate reporting.
