The 2022 1040 has a line that says "At any time during 2022, did you: (a) receive (as a reward, award, or payment for property or services); or (b) sell, exchange, gift, or otherwise dispose of a digital asset (or a financial interest in a digital asset)?"

If the answer is yes, but you put no so that you didnt need to file any additional details, thats definitely illegal.
