  Yes, you generally need to report your cryptocurrency holdings on your tax return. The IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property, so any gains or losses from buying, selling, or exchanging cryptocurrencies are subject to taxation. It's important to keep track of your transactions and calculate your gains or losses accurately to ensure compliance with tax laws.
