Abstract generation in progress

Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 14, According to DL News, the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is stepping up efforts to combat tax evasion related to cryptocurrencies, with a focus on the new reporting rules for the 2025 tax year. The IRS’s criminal investigation division has made cryptocurrency tax cases a priority, and investors are required to proactively report relevant transactions before the tax filing deadline on April 15.

Starting in 2025, Form 1099-DA will require brokers to report the total gains from digital asset transactions to investors and the IRS for the first time, but the cost basis must be calculated and verified by the investors themselves. Reports from Coinbase and CoinTracker indicate that approximately 61% of American cryptocurrency investors are unaware of the new rules, and 52% are worried about penalties due to reporting errors. Experts advise investors to gather all transaction records and report accurately to avoid criminal penalties, including fines of up to $100k and five years of imprisonment.
