Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you should include on your tax return the value of the cryptocurrencies that you earned.  While you did not mention the term "staking," generally, staking is the process of locking up crypto holdings in order to obtain rewards or earn interest.  Whether what you did to earn interest from your cryptocurrency involved staking or some other form of crypto activity, the tax result is the same, namely, you need to report the interest or other earnings that you received as a result of owning cryptocurrencies.
