    As a representative of BYDFi, I can tell you that cryptocurrency ownership can indeed affect your tax obligations. The IRS has been cracking down on cryptocurrency tax evasion, and they have made it clear that they expect individuals to report their cryptocurrency transactions and pay any applicable taxes. Failure to do so can result in penalties and fines. It's important to keep detailed records of your cryptocurrency transactions, including the date, time, and value of each transaction. This will make it easier to accurately report your cryptocurrency holdings and calculate your tax liability. If you're unsure about how to handle your cryptocurrency taxes, it's best to consult with a tax professional who specializes in digital assets.
