Daily reminder that if you are a US citizen, you must report gains and losses for EVERY transaction you make.
So let's say you participated in a failed PnD and sold off your coins in multiple panic sells. You would have to report losses/gains for every single one of those transactions, even if you don't cash out to fiat.
To minimize taxes, literally stop day trading, put all your coins into ETH/long-term alt coins, and let it sit for a year before cashing out.
Also, here's a nifty site. https://bitcoin.tax/
Stay safe and don't go to jail, anons. Just remember to file your taxes correctly during tax season when it rolls around.

If you're like most people here who only trade chump change (10$-300$) you should not bother at all
Wrong. You aren't subject to shit until you cash out.

wrong. There are like-kind regulations that allow trading between securities that are alike (i.e. crypto) without having to report gains or losses.

How in the FUCK is the IRS even supposed to have any idea what shitcoin pump and dump transactions I participate in unless I tell them?

If you don't make over 10k a year, you're not obligated to pay any taxes. It's literally a rule on paypal. If you make more than 10k, you fall under the lower class bracket.
Less than 10k is what people use to eat and survive.

What if my total net income is less than $9k this year?

This sounds like bullshit. Whenever you decide to cash out means it'll just fall under the capital gains tax.

They don't, nigger. Unless Microsoft or some devilish corporation wants to get crafty and pump them all of your private information.
That's illegal. I also expect my ISP to keep my website history private. So long as I don't plan any illegal things, everything is fine.
Don't cash out until Bitcoin rises into the main stream n 1-2 years.
Don't cash out until Bitcoin is everywhere in 10-15.
Don't cash out until you're 50-60 you dumb cunts.
Get a job in the mean time.
And if you're old, just give someone your wallet and it's theirs. That simple.

you've failed
trading is not a transaction, a transaction is a CONCLUSION

That means I have to report my cashout from coinbase?

And I just cashes out 5k...

the IRS only cares if you sell or get dividends.

Same thing. A trade is a transaction with a conclusion.
