An increasing number of people In Los Angeles, California are involved with cryptocurrency transactions. As more people become interested in cryptocurrency, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is becoming more interested in how taxpayers are reporting cryptocurrency transactions on their tax returns. With this increased scrutiny from the IRS, Los Angeles taxpayers who engage in cryptocurrency transactions have a greater potential of facing a tax audit (a “crypto tax audit”).
The following indicates that the IRS is becoming more interested in cryptocurrency transactions:
Because the IRS is concerned that many taxpayers are not properly reporting the income from their cryptocurrency transactions, crypto tax audits are being commenced in the Los Angeles area.
The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property. If you purchase cryptocurrency as an investment and sell it for a profit, you must report such profit on your tax return as cryptocurrency income.
You realize cryptocurrency income when you receive payment for goods or services in cryptocurrency. If received as payment for goods, the cryptocurrency is cryptocurrency income if it exceeds your tax basis in the goods. If received as payment for services, the cryptocurrency is cryptocurrency income as compensation.
You also realize cryptocurrency income when you engage in a cryptocurrency “mining” transaction and receive cryptocurrency for doing work on the blockchain ledger. The receipt of such “mining” cryptocurrency is cryptocurrency income.

In addition, you realize cryptocurrency income when you are party to a cryptocurrency “airdrop” transaction and receive cryptocurrency from a company for its marketing or promotional purposes. The receipt of such “airdrop” cryptocurrency is cryptocurrency income.
