As a cryptocurrency enthusiast and investor, I'm curious to understand the tax implications of my transactions in the United States. Could you elaborate on what kind of tax laws specifically apply to cryptocurrency transactions? Are there any specific rules for buying, selling, or trading cryptocurrencies? Do I need to report every single transaction to the IRS? And how are cryptocurrencies taxed differently from traditional assets like stocks or bonds? Understanding the tax landscape is crucial for me to make informed decisions about my investments.
