Description

With over 40% of Americans owning digital assets and a single bitcoin now valued at over $100K, cryptocurrency is no longer a niche subject. But a few tax professionals understand how to help individuals and businesses dealing with digital assets. This session walks you through the tax implications of common cryptocurrency-related transactions and how to successfully service clients dealing in digital assets.

We will also cover current developments surrounding this topic, such as the updated version of the digital assets question on Form 1040, upcoming Form 1099-DAs, a series of chief counsel memorandums related to digital assets, Rev. Proc. 2024-28, and tax planning opportunities.
