The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which is responsible for enforcing federal tax laws in the United States, recently published a list of reporting obligations for the general public regarding cryptocurrencies as the time for submitting the 2022 federal income tax return approaches.

Three tax forms, the 1040 Individual Income Tax Return, the 1040-SR U.S. Tax Return for Seniors, and the 1040-NR U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, all have a question concerning digital asset income.

In income tax-related reporting forms, the IRS previously referred to virtual currencies; these terms have now been modified to digital assets. Regardless of whether they engaged in any transactions involving digital assets, all citizens of the United States are required to respond to queries concerning cryptocurrencies.

The IRS identified nine situations when one must mark “Yes,” While all tax filers are expected to respond to the aforementioned question with a yes or no.

The aforementioned advice basically refers to receiving, earning, selling, or transferring cryptocurrency for any financial gain, including mining and staking. Eligible taxpayers must record any revenue connected to their digital asset transactions in addition to marking the “Yes” box. One may only check “No” in the file if they have just been holding cryptocurrency assets, have moved assets between their own wallets, or have bought cryptocurrency using fiat money.

This is the story in the US, and in the UK; from January 1, 2023, the nation will implement a tax exemption policy for foreign investors who appoint local brokers or investment managers to invest in cryptocurrencies.
