    Yes, you are required to report your cryptocurrency earnings on Upwork to the IRS. The IRS views cryptocurrency as property, and any income generated from it, including earnings from freelancing on Upwork, is subject to taxation. You should report your earnings as self-employment income on Schedule C of your tax return. Make sure to keep accurate records of your earnings and any related expenses for proper reporting.

    Absolutely! The IRS treats cryptocurrency earnings on Upwork just like any other form of income. It's important to remember that the IRS is actively cracking down on unreported cryptocurrency earnings, so it's in your best interest to report your earnings accurately and honestly. Failure to do so could result in penalties and legal consequences. Keep track of your earnings and consult with a tax professional if you have any questions about reporting.
