Urgent Crypto Tax Regulations

New crypto tax regulations set to take effect in 2025 require U.S. citizens involved in cryptocurrency to act swiftly to avoid potential surprise taxes. The new laws mandate that exchanges, such as Coinbase and Kraken, begin reporting users' transactions to the IRS through a new form, the 1099 DA. This means that anyone trading crypto needs to be aware of their tax obligations to accurately report their income from these activities. Failure to comply with these new regulations could lead to severe penalties, and individuals might find themselves subject to audits based on retrospective calculations.
