  If you have earned less than $600 from cryptocurrency, you may wonder if you need to report it on your tax return. The short answer is yes, you should report all income, including cryptocurrency earnings, on your tax return. Even if the amount is below the $600 threshold, it is still considered taxable income. Failing to report this income can result in penalties and legal consequences. It's always better to be transparent and comply with tax regulations to avoid any issues in the future.
