  Yes, you are still required to report your cryptocurrency trading income, even if it is below $600. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and any gains or losses from trading should be reported on your tax return. It's important to keep track of your trades and calculate your gains or losses accurately.

  As an expert in the field, I can confirm that it is necessary to file taxes for cryptocurrency trading income, even if it is below $600. The IRS has been cracking down on unreported cryptocurrency income, and it's always better to be on the safe side and report all your earnings.

  Well, technically speaking, you are required to report any income, including cryptocurrency trading income, to the IRS. However, the likelihood of being audited for such a small amount is relatively low. That being said, it's still recommended to report your income accurately and stay compliant with the tax laws.
