U.S. IRS publishes draft of new tax form: cryptocurrency investors may face new rules
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released an important announcement that could affect cryptocurrency investors. The agency previewed a draft of future tax forms designed to dictate how brokered sales of digital assets should be reported. The new Form 1099-DA will reportedly help calculate taxable gains or losses when brokering transactions in digital assets and may include information such as filling in personal token codes and providing wallet addresses. While the preview is still in its preliminary stages and is subject to change depending on the outcome of the final tax rules, the move is seen as a step toward addressing uncertainty and confusion for cryptocurrency investors. This new rule is expected to play a key role in driving standardization of cryptocurrency tax practices.The IRS is now inviting public comments on the draft form, and it is unclear when the final version will be released.
