  Yes, you are still required to report your cryptocurrency holdings even if you haven't sold any. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and any increase in value is subject to capital gains tax. It's important to keep track of your holdings and report them accurately to avoid any penalties or legal issues.

  Absolutely! Just because you haven't sold any cryptocurrency doesn't mean you're exempt from reporting. The IRS requires you to report all your holdings, regardless of whether you've sold them or not. Make sure to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're meeting all the necessary requirements.
