Description

This course presents an overview of blockchain and the tax implication of cryptocurrency transactions.  The IRS has provided some recent guidance, but potentially conflicting pronouncements by other regulatory agencies have created uncertainty on reporting issues. This course will help the practitioner understand when a taxable transaction has occurred, what reports to file to satisfy IRS requirements, and identify tax traps for the unwary.
