This webinar will examine the latest IRS rules and positions on the taxation of cryptocurrency and other digital assets. Our panel of cryptocurrency taxation professionals will review recent regulations, Revenue Rulings, and guidance issued by the IRS and provide insights into tracking basis, abandoning worthless cryptocurrency investments, and calculating gains and losses on these investments.

Description

The new reporting regulations (TD 10000) for cryptocurrency, finalized in 2024, underscore the importance of reporting gains and losses from digital assets. The regulations include rules for determining gains and losses, backup withholding, and basis determination. Beginning in 2025, brokers will report gross proceeds from cryptocurrency transactions, and in 2026, basis will also be included on the new form 1099-DA.

The IRS has recently issued guidance covering other complexities of reporting the tax effects of digital assets. Revenue Ruling 2023-14, for example, clarifies when staking rewards are deemed earned and included in income. In contrast, some taxpayers hold digital assets that have significantly decreased in value. Certain taxpayers could benefit from a worthless deduction under IRC Section 165. Understanding the IRS' position on abandoning digital assets is key.

Listen as our panel of tax technology experts explains the most recent guidance for calculating, tracking, and reporting income and losses from digital assets.
