  Failing to report cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS can have serious consequences. The IRS considers cryptocurrency to be property, not currency, and therefore subject to capital gains tax. If individuals fail to report their cryptocurrency transactions, they may be subject to penalties, fines, and even criminal charges. It's important to accurately report all cryptocurrency transactions to avoid these potential consequences.
