  Yes, you are required to report your cryptocurrency purchases to the IRS. The IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property, so any gains or losses from buying or selling cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains tax. It's important to keep track of your transactions and report them accurately on your tax return.
