  Yes, even if you only have a small amount of crypto, it is still necessary to file taxes. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and any gains or losses from its sale or exchange are subject to taxation. It's important to report your crypto transactions accurately to avoid potential penalties or audits. Keep track of your transactions and consult a tax professional for guidance on how to report them properly.

  Well, technically speaking, you should report any income, regardless of the amount. However, the IRS might not come after you for a few dollars worth of crypto gains. That being said, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Reporting your crypto transactions, no matter how small, shows your compliance with tax laws and helps you avoid any potential issues in the future. So, my advice would be to report it.
