Sure, here's a possible description simulating a questioner's tone, keeping the word count to 300 or less:
"Hey there, I've been dabbling in cryptocurrency and have made a bit of a profit from buying and selling. But now I'm wondering, do I have to report all this on my tax return? I mean, it's not like traditional stock trading, right? Is the IRS even keeping track of what I'm doing with my crypto? And if I do have to report it, how do I go about it? Do I need to keep track of every little transaction, or can I just report the big ones? Help me out here, I'm a bit lost in the world of crypto taxes!

Additionally, cryptocurrency earned as income, such as through mining or staking, must also be reported on one's tax return. Failing to do so can result in legal consequences.

Cryptocurrency investments and trades are generally taxed similarly to stocks, considered as property by the tax authorities. This implies that individuals engaging in such activities must be aware of their tax obligations.

One example of a taxable cryptocurrency transaction is purchasing a non-fungible token (NFT) using cryptocurrency. This transaction is subject to taxation, just like any other property sale.
