IRS Steps Up Fight Against Crypto Tax Evasion
The IRS is escalating efforts against crypto tax evasion, with over half of recent investigations focusing on tax-related issues. The surge in digital asset adoption has led to an increase in tax-related probes, prompting the IRS to formulate new regulations targeting brokers and intermediaries in the crypto space. The proposed measures, seeking input until January 25, 2024, will be integrated into the American Families Plan Act of 2023, reinforcing reporting requirements for crypto transactions exceeding $10,000.
