  Absolutely! Crypto mining is considered a taxable activity. According to the IRS, mining income is treated as self-employment income and is subject to self-employment tax. This means you need to report your mining income on Schedule C of your tax return. However, you may also be able to deduct certain expenses related to your mining activities, such as electricity costs and mining equipment. It's important to keep detailed records and consult with a tax professional to ensure you are accurately reporting your mining income and taking advantage of any available deductions.
