I'm a bit curious about the tax implications of my Bitcoin investments. I've heard that the IRS is keeping tabs on crypto transactions, but I'm not sure how they actually do it. Do they monitor every transaction made on the blockchain? Or do they receive reports from exchanges or wallets?
Also, if I make a profit from trading Bitcoin, how does the IRS find out about it? Do I need to declare it myself, or is there some sort of automatic reporting system?
And just to clarify, if I don't report my crypto earnings, will the IRS eventually find out? What are the consequences of not disclosing my crypto income?
I'm trying to be responsible and comply with tax regulations, but I also want to make sure I'm not sharing more information than necessary. Can you give me some insight into how the IRS operates in this area?
