In 2020 I converted a small amount of cryptocurrency (<$100) but didn't sell any.  Do I need to report it on my return?

Yes, it should be reported on your income tax return.

 

Cryptocurrency sold, exchanged, spent or converted, is treated as sale of property. Like property sales or the sale of stock, any gain or loss from the sale or trade of cryptocurrency is reported as a capital gain or loss. If you buy and sell it within 12 months, it’s treated as a short-term capital gain. If you hold it for over 12 months, it’s taxed at the lower, long-term, capital gain rates.
