About the Course
Introduction
This webinar will discuss recent domestic and global legislative developments relating to cryptocurrency. Our panel of prestigious CPAs will also review U.S. rules governing the reporting and taxation of cryptocurrency sales and exchanges.
Description
The recently passed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act provides consumer protection to investors in the digital marketplace. Introduced shortly after were the CLARITY and PARITY Acts. These Acts are meant to "position America as the global leader in cryptocurrency," according to the White House Fact Sheet.
Recognizing the risks of tax evasion and the need for global transparency, the OECD, with support from G20 countries, organized the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). The CARF requires crypto-asset service providers to report cryptocurrency transactions for reportable users.
In addition to regulatory challenges, the cryptocurrency landscape creates numerous tax compliance burdens for practitioners. New for 2025, brokers must provide Form 1099-DA for dispositions, sales, exchanges, and transfers of digital assets. As utilization of cryptocurrency continues to surge, taxpayers and their advisers need to be aware of regulatory and tax developments for digital asset transactions.
Listen as our panel of federal regulatory experts provides insights into current developments surrounding digital asset transactions in the U.S. and abroad, as well as details on current U.S. reporting requirements for cryptocurrency.
