I'm somewhat puzzled. Why does the IRS inquire about cryptocurrency purchases? I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the topic, but I'm not sure why the tax authority would be interested in this particular area. Cryptocurrency has always been seen as a means of anonymous transactions, so does the IRS suspect some sort of tax evasion? Or is it just trying to keep tabs on the ever-evolving financial landscape?
I understand that cryptocurrencies can be used for legitimate transactions, but they're also prone to abuse. So, is the IRS trying to clamp down on illegal activities or is it simply trying to ensure that taxpayers are declaring their crypto assets correctly?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. It seems like a complex issue, and I'd like to understand the IRS's motivation behind this inquiry. Could you please elaborate?
