  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that auction houses selling cryptocurrencies are required to report certain information to the IRS. This includes the gross proceeds from each transaction, the date of the transaction, the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction, and the taxpayer's basis in the cryptocurrency. The IRS considers cryptocurrencies to be property, so the reporting requirements are similar to those for the sale of other types of property.
