The IRS has begun sending letters to taxpayers who potentially failed to report income and pay taxes on cryptocurrency transactions, the agency said Friday. The IRS said it obtained the names of the taxpayers through “various ongoing IRS compliance efforts.”
“Taxpayers should take these letters very seriously by reviewing their tax filings and when appropriate, amend past returns and pay back taxes, interest and penalties,” IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said in a statement Friday.

The US Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of President Donald Trump, allowing him to proceed with plans to divert billions of dollars in Pentagon funds towards construction of his trademark project of building a wall along the Mexican border.

Trump declared a national emergency earlier this year in a bid to bypass Congress and obtain funding for his signature project, after a standoff led to the longest government shutdown in US history.
The ruling will allow Trump access to some $2.5 billion for the project.
