Why would you "bring up the issue" ? @p{par}

Just declare bitcoin-related income or capital gains as income, and bitcoin-related expenses as expenses, translated into units that the IRS understands (dollars), and follow the rules for WHEN you must declare income, capital gains and expenses and I bet a bitcoin you'll be just fine, even if you get audited. @p{brk}
