How does the IRS keep track of cryptocurrency transactions and sales to ensure that taxpayers are accurately reporting their income? Is there a specific process or system in place that allows the IRS to monitor these activities, or do they rely on self-reporting by individuals? Additionally, what happens if a taxpayer fails to report their cryptocurrency sales and income to the IRS, and what are the potential consequences of such an action?
