I wanted to find out whether I needed to answer "yes" on the cryptocurrency question on my 1040.
I just started buying cryptocurrency in 2021. I didn't sell, exchange, or dispose of any of that crypto, and it looks like I just made income from bonuses/promotions, free crypto for participating in Coinbase Earn, and interest on some of my crypto through Gemini Earn.
From the income I mentioned from the promotions, should I answer "yes" on the cryptocurrency question on my 1040? Would the promotions and freebies be considered as receiving crypto or otherwise acquiring any financial interest in any virtual currency?
