Back in August, the IRS released a draft of Form 1040—its individual income tax return—for the tax year 2020, which moved a crucial question about cryptocurrency right to the top of the first page. And with the release of the 2020 Form 1040 on the IRS’s website, that change has been made official.
There was no announcement, but cached versions of the IRS’s Form 1040 landing page show that the site was directing visitors to the 2019 version of the form as recently as December 10.
When US taxpayers filing as individuals confront their 2020 income taxes, they’ll now be asked, “At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?”
The change marks a significant update from last year’s individual income tax form, which only included the crypto question on Schedule 1, a 1040 supplement that taxpayers have to request separately. This year, though, all US taxpayers must disclose their crypto transactions.
Shehan Chandrasekara, a tax expert at the software company CoinTracker, told Decrypt that the new placement of the question “shows how seriously the IRS is looking into the crypto tax reporting issues going forward.”
Conveniently for long-term crypto holders, simply hanging onto your crypto doesn’t actually count as “receiv[ing], sell[ing], send[ing], exchang[ing], or otherwise acquir[ing” virtual currency, according to IRS guidelines.
In the latest draft of its mandatory form for personal income tax, the United States Internal Revenue Service has clarified crucial language about which cryptocurrency holdings and transactions need to be disclosed, and which do not. According to the new Form 1040 draft, which the IRS released on Friday, if you only held crypto, but did not trade it, you can safely check the “no” box next to the form’s primary crypto question: At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or ot...
A revised draft of Form 1040, released in October, contained explanatory language about what might be sufficient reason for taxpayers to check the “yes” box: examples included “a sale of virtual currency,” and “the receipt or transfer of virtual currency for free (without providing any consideration), including from an air-drop or hard fork.”

Six days after a $223 million exploit shook the Sui ecosystem, decentralized exchange Cetus has announced a recovery initiative that would override hacker-controlled wallets through a protocol-level upgrade, if the community approves it. The vote will determine whether $162 million in frozen funds can be forcefully reclaimed from the attacker’s wallets via a protocol-level upgrade as part of Cetus’s “larger recovery plan.” Cetus has requested a community driven vote to recover the funds frozen...
Luxury fashion and NFT-linked products company 9dcc will wind down operations at the end of May, citing economic challenges and “softness” in luxury retail sales, and perhaps being too early to a future trend in the making. The brand, which sold shirts, hats, and other apparel items as “networked products,” physically linked its clothing to NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain via sewn-in NFC chips. This allowed owners to prove provenance and even obtain digital signatures that lived on the blockchai...
Thousands of Bitcoin fans descended on Las Vegas this week to soak in BTC Inc.’s annual conference—from newly minted crypto devotees to longtime BTC OGs. Under the roof of The Venetian Convention & Expo Center, however, the distinction appeared to hardly matter. Although Bitcoin’s price set a new all-time high less than a week ago, the prospect of in-person connections appeared to be the biggest draw for a largely digital industry—despite a “who’s who” of speakers, including Silk Road pioneer Ro...
