Stop being a trader and answer no.
When can you answer ‘No’ to the 1040 virtual currency question?
You do not need to check ‘Yes’ to the virtual currency question if in 202X you only:
1. purchased cryptocurrency
2. held cryptocurrency in wallets or accounts
3. transferred crypto between self-owned or self-controlled wallets or accounts
Everybody needs to be answering yes to this. It makes the question meaningless.

Tranfering crypto from wallet to wallet that you own costs miner fees. This is an act of disposing your crypto. My tax software includes this, and i have to pay capital gains on the miner fee.
