Is all crypto income taxable? The IRS doesn’t treat every crypto move the same. Selling, trading, mining, staking rewards, and airdrops are taxable. Wallet transfers, collateral staking, and borrowing against crypto are not. But here’s the catch: if a lender liquidates your collateral, the IRS counts it as a taxable sale.Clinton Donnelly, founder of CryptoTaxAudit and known as the “Crypto Tax Fixer,” explains the difference between taxable and non-taxable crypto activity, what really needs to be reported, and why shortcuts on your tax return can trigger audits.Traders ask all the time: Do you need to report every single transaction? The IRS isn’t just interested in profit; they track “total positive income,” which means the gross proceeds from what you sell before subtracting costs. If your return doesn’t match what they see in 1099s, you’re at risk of an audit.Another common question: Is borrowing against crypto taxable? Borrowing isn’t income, so it isn’t taxed. But if the lender seizes your collateral, that liquidation is taxable.And here’s the part most traders overlook: How do you protect yourself from IRS scrutiny? The answer is monitoring. TaxShield pulls your IRS file every week to detect underreporting or audit flags before they land in your mailbox, allowing you to fix issues early and avoid years of costly battles.What you’ll learn in this video:• Which crypto activities are taxed vs exempt• Why bottom-line reporting creates audit risk• The real case of a $150M trader who paid the right tax but still triggered an IRS audit• How TaxShield gives traders peace of mind against IRS surprises📞 Protect yourself now:👉 Book a consultation: https://www.cryptotaxaudit.com/crypto-tax-consultation👉 Learn more about TaxShield: https://www.cryptotaxaudit.com/taxshield🔗 Helpful IRS resources:• IRS Virtual Currency Guidance 👉 https://www.irs.gov/filing/digital-assets• IRS Form 8949 for Capital Gains 👉 https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8949

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
