New Tax Reporting Rules for Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets

This act changes tax rules for digital assets like cryptocurrencies. It broadens the definition of who must report transactions to the tax authorities to include platforms that facilitate digital asset transfers. This means some of your cryptocurrency operations might be reported to tax authorities starting in 2024.
Key points
Platforms and services that help you transfer digital assets (like cryptocurrencies) may now be considered entities required to report tax information.
Digital assets are treated like specified securities for tax reporting purposes.
These entities will need to report certain transfers of digital assets, even if they are not sales, for transactions occurring after December 31, 2023.
The act clarifies that people solely validating transactions, selling private key software, or developing digital protocols (without serving customers) are generally not included in the new reporting entity definition.
