  Yes, you are required to include your cryptocurrency holdings when filling out a W9 form. The IRS considers digital assets as property, and they are subject to taxation. Failure to report your cryptocurrency holdings can result in penalties and legal consequences. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure accurate reporting.

  Absolutely! Cryptocurrency holdings should be included on your W9 form. The IRS has been cracking down on unreported digital assets, and failure to disclose them can lead to audits and penalties. Don't take any chances, it's better to be transparent and compliant with tax regulations.
