  Absolutely! Bitstamp is not exempt from reporting cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS. The IRS has been cracking down on tax evasion in the cryptocurrency space, and exchanges like Bitstamp are required to provide transaction information to help enforce tax laws. So, if you're using Bitstamp or any other exchange, make sure you keep accurate records of your transactions and report them properly on your tax returns.
