  Absolutely! Downloading virtual currencies is not exempt from tax reporting. The IRS treats virtual currencies as assets, and any gains or losses from their acquisition or disposal may be taxable. Make sure to keep accurate records of your transactions and consult with a tax advisor to ensure compliance with tax laws.

The IRS has been cracking down on cryptocurrency tax evasion, and failing to report your virtual currency activities could lead to penalties or even legal consequences. It's always best to err on the side of caution and report your transactions.
