If you receive income in any form, and your income-translated-into-dollars is above whatever the "must file" amount currently is, then yes, you must report it on your income taxes at the end of the year. @p{par}

Doesn't matter if your income is in the form of dollars or euros or bitcoins or diamonds. @p{par}

And I'm pretty sure Fincen would say that if you're receiving more than $10,000 worth of bitcoins from somebody then they want to know about it, just like they want to know if you're getting more than $10,000 worth of diamonds from somebody.  See the fincen.gov for the mind-numbing details. @p{brk}
