🕵️ Does Coinbase Report My Transactions to the IRS?

Yes. Centralized exchanges like Coinbase are required to comply with the IRS. They collect KYC data on their customers, and they share that information, especially if you're a U.S. taxpayer or meet certain thresholds.

Coinbase may also share information about any external wallets you’ve transferred tokens to. This means the IRS could use that information to trace your on-chain activity, even if you didn’t directly connect your wallets.

To stay compliant and avoid surprises, it’s important to connect both your exchange accounts and wallets to Awaken.
