Summary
Tax professionals are preparing for increased IRS scrutiny on crypto assets. Investors need to understand how to report and calculate taxes on digital currency transactions, which may be subject to capital gains or regular income taxes. The IRS has introduced a "digital assets" question on tax forms, and it is important for investors to accurately answer this question to avoid potential penalties. The lack of reliable reporting for crypto transactions can make tax filing challenging, but new regulations are being proposed to standardize reporting in the future.
