  Yes, cash back rewards from cryptocurrency purchases are generally considered taxable income by the IRS. Just like any other form of income, you are required to report it on your tax return. The value of the rewards should be reported as miscellaneous income and may be subject to self-employment tax if you are earning rewards as part of a business activity. It's important to keep track of the rewards you receive and consult with a tax professional for specific guidance on reporting them.
