According to TurboTax’s latest Tax Trend Report the percentage of filers reporting crypto transactions was highest among the 25-34 age group in tax year 2022, but has fallen across nearly all age groups with 2.34% of tax filers, including crypto transactions in their returns compared to just under 3% the prior year. The reduction in crypto values in 2022 may be correlated with the reduction in crypto sales reported. The decline in crypto values may have also led to losses when tax filers sold their crypto.
