  Yes, even if you file a tax extension, you are still required to report your cryptocurrency transactions. The extension only gives you more time to file your tax return, but it doesn't exempt you from reporting your income. Failure to report your cryptocurrency transactions can result in penalties and consequences, such as fines and audits. It's important to accurately report your transactions and consult with a tax professional if you have any questions.

  Filing a tax extension doesn't change the fact that you need to report your cryptocurrency transactions. The extension simply extends the deadline for filing your tax return, but it doesn't affect the reporting requirements. It's crucial to keep track of your cryptocurrency transactions and report them accurately to avoid any potential penalties or legal issues. If you're unsure about how to report your transactions, consider consulting a tax advisor who specializes in cryptocurrency taxation.
