The IRS has released final regulations for reporting digital asset sales, transfers, and payment processing to ensure accurate tax filing and payment. A new tax form, Form 1099-DA, will be used to report digital asset proceeds from broker transactions, improving tax compliance and assisting taxpayers in calculating taxable gains. However, tracking basis for digital assets can be challenging due to the large number of transactions and types of currency involved. Seeking early tax advice from knowledgeable and trusted tax advisors, including those with crypto tax certification, can help taxpayers navigate these complexities. The final regulations do not include reporting requirements for decentralized or non-custodial brokers, but taxpayers should still watch for additional guidance from the IRS.
