And it's much worse than paying 'back taxes'. The IRS puts you to work. They make you trace all your coins around the blockchain, asking for more and more information. A years worth of transaction data is not small. They will 'claim' this movement of funds is a taxible event even though you just moved it from your wallet A to wallet B, then you move it back, another 'claim' that it's income. So no they taxed you twice for the same event, which wasn't even a taxable event. Burden of proof is on you. Then eventually the agent gives up and you get assigned a new agent, start all over, picking up where the old one left off. Goes on for 3 years. All because you wanted to use lightning.
