Crypto, NFTs, and digital goods are always changing. Can sales tax keep up? Legislative processes are notoriously slow. On the state level, where sales tax is administered, sales tax legislation needs to pass through bureaucratic hoops and legal red tape to take effect. Some legislation may already be outdated or obsolete by the time it gets passed. Compare this with the digital space. New products and innovations are always being launched. With the introduction of artificial intelligence and its implementation in products, it seems like things have never been faster. This means that, despite some states' best efforts, sales tax for digital goods is challenging. As one of the most unique industries to deal with, there are challenges to avoid and opportunities to take advantage of. How are you going to ensure your compliance? If you work in financial operations- including tax, general accounting, accounts payable, sales, tax technology, purchasing and credit- a closer look at your sales tax obligations is a must.

If you are wondering why im slow to respond to messages. 😅 I'll give you a bit of insight on what we have been detangling here at MoonTax to explain.... NFT taxation can be complex, especially when scams are involved. Here's a look at two different scenarios that show how the method of attack and the timing of asset valuation can affect tax liability. Personal Case Study: ⭐ - Method of Attack: Bad contract link. - Timing of Valuation: Loss reported based on original cost basis of $58, despite the NFT being worth $16 at the time of loss. Personally within the last year I lost an NFT to a scam. The NFT was transferred out of my wallet to the scammer's wallet because I interacted with a bad contract link. My seed phrase remained secure, but the NFT was gone. According to tax regulations, the loss is based on the cost basis, which for this NFT was $58. At the time of the loss, the NFT's market value was $16. This discrepancy creates a unique tax reporting challenge because the loss must be reported at the higher original purchase price. Client Case Study: ⭐ - Method of Attack: Compromised seed phrase. - Timing of Valuation: Sale resulted in a profit on the wallet address due to higher NFT value at the time of sale for WETH. A client experienced a different type of scam where the attacker obtained their seed phrase, giving them full control over the client's assets. The attacker sold the client's NFTs for WETH on OpenSea, accepting the first bid available. This sale resulted in a profit because the NFTs were sold at a higher value than their original cost basis. The attacker then moved the WETH to various wallets. In this case, tax regulations require that the sale be reported based on the cost basis of the NFTs trade for WETH, even though the the NFT was owned by the client it was the WETH that was subsequently stolen. 🕵♂️ These scenarios highlight how the method of attack and the timing of asset valuation can significantly affect tax liability. It's crucial to understand these differences and speak with a CPA/Blockchain Forensics to ensure accurate tax reporting. Always stay vigilant with your security measures. #crypto #scam #tax

🚀 New IRS Regulations on Digital Asset Reporting: What You Need to Know! Big News for Cryptocurrency and Digital Asset Holders! The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS have issued final regulations requiring custodial brokers to report sales and exchanges of digital assets, including cryptocurrency. These new reporting requirements will ensure taxpayers file accurate tax returns for digital asset transactions, which are already subject to tax under current law. 📊🔍 Key Highlights of the New Regulations - Effective Date: Brokers must report certain sale and exchange transactions starting in 2025 using the new Form 1099-DA. - Public Input: The regulations reflect feedback from over 44,000 public comments, balancing industry concerns with the need to close the tax gap related to digital assets. - Scope: The regulations initially focus on brokers who take possession of digital assets being sold by their customers, such as custodial trading platforms, hosted wallet providers, and digital asset kiosks. - Exclusions: Decentralized or non-custodial brokers are not included in these initial reporting requirements. Future regulations will address these brokers. Why This Matters According to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel, third-party reporting significantly improves compliance. These regulations aim to ensure that digital assets are not used to hide taxable income, helping to improve detection of noncompliance in this high-risk area. 📈💡 Additional Provisions - Real Estate Transactions: Starting January 1, 2026, real estate professionals must report the fair market value of digital assets in real estate transactions. - Stablecoins and NFTs: Optional aggregate reporting for certain sales exceeding de minimis thresholds. - Transitional Relief: Notice 2024-56 provides general transitional relief from reporting penalties and backup withholding for brokers who make a good faith effort to comply during 2025. How We Can Help Navigating these new regulations can be complex. For personalized advice and expert assistance, contact our COO Anshul Goyal at anshul@kkca.io.
