Crypto Clarity: New Reporting Rules for Digital Asset Sales Are Rolling Out

Starting in 2025, brokers will begin reporting key details of digital asset sales to the IRS using the new Form 1099-DA. This form will include crucial information such as the sale price, tax basis, and other important details that will make tax filing easier and more transparent for taxpayers involved in crypto transactions. Originally slated for implementation in 2023, the IRS delayed the rollout to provide stakeholders with additional time to prepare. Here's what you need to know:

Key Timeline for New Reporting Rules:

• 2025 Sales: Brokers will report sales proceeds on 1099-DAs issued in 2026. This will mark the first year taxpayers and the IRS receive detailed reporting of digital asset transactions.

• 2026 Sales: Reporting expands to include the tax basis and gain characterization on 1099-DAs filed in 2027, providing a more complete picture of taxable events.

• 2027 Sales: Decentralized crypto exchanges will join the reporting requirements, adding another layer of transparency.

These phased-in requirements aim to bring greater clarity and compliance to the rapidly evolving world of digital assets. As cryptocurrencies become a mainstream investment and transactional medium, the IRS is stepping up efforts to ensure accurate tax reporting and collection. For taxpayers, this means fewer surprises during tax season and a clearer understanding of their obligations.
