IRS Crypto Taxation Evolves Since 2014 Regulation
The IRS has taxed crypto as property since 2014, increasing compliance enforcement over time. This new measure continues this trend.
Experts speculate that heightened reporting requirements could lead to shifts in exchange use, paralleling previous compliance developments in the crypto market. As Charles P. Rettig, Commissioner, IRS, stated, “Taxpayers must report all transactions involving digital assets. This includes those earned as income, derived from staking/lending, trading, or received via airdrops. Non-compliance is not acceptable.”
