  Yes, US citizens living in New Zealand must report their income from cryptocurrency trading to the IRS. The IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and any gains or losses from its sale or exchange are subject to tax. You will need to report your earnings on your US tax return, regardless of where the income was earned. It is important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions and consult with a tax advisor to ensure proper reporting and compliance with tax laws.
