Over the past year, a repeating trend within the news articles that I see, is that the IRS claims that only a very small fraction of Bitcoin owners have been reporting their earnings. The claim is due to repeat itself this year as far as I can tell. I just saw an article reporting that out of 250,000 people who did their taxes through credit karma, only a small handful of people reported Bitcoin earnings. From this, an illrepresened figure of 20 people, overall, are said to have claimed Bitcoin on their taxes this year so far, to the IRS. 20. 20!? Out of the entire USA population?! This number is obviously bs. When claiming Bitcoin earnings as a piece of property, there are multiple ways to report it, in the form of naming the piece of property (BTC, Bitcoin, crypto, digital currency, etc...), And I suspect that the figures they've given us VASTLY underreport how many people pay their taxes. It's easy to narrow your field of view on searching for the asset to just one keyword...
