This CLE/CPE webinar will provide attorneys and tax advisers with a detailed analysis of the current developments, legal framework, accounting, and taxation of digital assets under current tax law. The panel will discuss the recent developments and rules applicable to digital assets, entity structures and key considerations for companies involved with digital assets, applicable IRS tax rules and recent regulations, valuation issues, and other vital items impacting those engaged in digital assets and related transactions.

Description

The IRS has recently issued new reporting regulations (TD 10000) for gains and losses from digital assets and 1099-DA reporting. As federal and state regulations for digital assets continue to evolve, counsel and advisers must have a firm grasp of the complex laws, accounting, and tax issues stemming from digital assets and related transactions.

The issuance of federal regulations and guidance covering digital assets over the past years expresses the tax effects of these assets. For example, Revenue Ruling 2023-14 clarifies when staking rewards are deemed earned and included in income, while TD 10000 includes rules for determining gains and losses, backup withholding, and basis determination. Beginning in 2025, brokers will report gross proceeds from digital asset transactions, and in 2026, basis will also be included on the new form 1099-DA.

Furthermore, understanding these assets is essential to ensure compliance and minimize adverse tax consequences. There are financial reporting and disclosures, gains and losses on disposition, and the significant price fluctuations of these assets that must be considered, recorded, and reported. Understanding how to best classify and report these assets is critical for businesses, attorneys, and accounting professionals.

Listen as our panel discusses recent developments and rules applicable to digital assets, key considerations for companies involved with digital assets, applicable IRS tax rules and recent regulations, sourcing of income rules, valuation issues, and other vital items impacting those engaged in digital assets and related transactions.
