Could you elaborate on the necessity of reporting cryptocurrencies to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)? Given the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies and the lack of clarity in certain tax regulations, is it really essential for individuals and businesses to disclose their holdings and transactions? Wouldn't a failure to report pose a significant risk of being audited or penalized? Additionally, what are the potential tax implications of crypto transactions, such as buying, selling, or mining? Is it advisable to consult a tax professional to ensure compliance with IRS guidelines?
