  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can tell you that reporting your earnings on your tax return is crucial to stay compliant with the IRS. The first step is to gather all the necessary information, including the dates, amounts, and cost basis of your cryptocurrency transactions. You'll then need to determine whether you qualify for capital gains or ordinary income treatment. If you held the cryptocurrency for less than a year, it's considered ordinary income and should be reported on Schedule 1. If you held it for more than a year, it's considered a capital gain or loss and should be reported on Schedule D. Make sure to accurately calculate your gains or losses and keep detailed records of your transactions. If you're unsure about any aspect of reporting your cryptocurrency earnings, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional who specializes in cryptocurrency taxes. They can help ensure you're following the correct procedures and maximizing your deductions.
