Crowdfunding can be taxable to the recipient depending on the circumstances. If people gave money to you and received absolutely nothing in return from anybody for giving, it sounds like a gift. However, you will receive a 1099-k for the income you received and the IRS will know about it. Most crowdfunding involves raising money for business or a service (or good) is received, those are all taxable income. Be prepared to prove that this was all charity, if it was. Otherwise, claim it as income.
