New DeFi broker reporting regs are out. They are ass. Everything is pinned on "front end" providers for information reporting.

As much as I want to dig into these and start formulating strategies to deal with them, it seems really unlikely they will ever go into effect, givenβ¦
Lots of bitching about ruined holidays.
Does the IRS do anything but ruin people's holiday's (and every other day)? π

"offramp from the federal reserve" come on bb it's about people not wanting to pay taxes on the money they earned, it's not actually ideological beyond a thin veneer to justify that they're simply greedy

Still don't understand how to cheat taxes with crypto? Coinbase etc sends a report to the IRS for each user each year.
i worked at a very busy cash only restaurant. would you say that form of business should be illegal because its used to underreport taxes? edit: of course not because you are fat edit 2: and 80 percent of your thoughts are about what you are going to eat next.

they can only do this if you provide accurate information about urself bb, that's what this reg is about, to make sure they can do exactly this
everybody knows that cash-only places virtually always commit tax fraud, imo that doesn't justify banning them at all but it does mean that it probably makes sense to target them for audits

bby grl, what does this mean? coinbase will tell them which wallet you went funds to coinbae and they can link them with your other wallets and literally audit you with the push of a button.

Well it sounds like Coinbase is already collecting this information then, so these regulations won't have much impact on their customers. I don't use them so I couldn't tell you specifics.
These types of regulations are standard practice for brokers though.
