🔔 New Bill on Crypto Staking Taxation in the US!
🇺🇸 US Congressmen Wiley Nickel and Drew Ferguson have introduced the "Tax Clarity for Digital Assets Act." This legislation aims to amend the current IRS guidelines by taxing cryptocurrency staking rewards only at the time of their sale, rather than when earned.
👀This change is intended to prevent the double taxation that can occur under the current system, where staking rewards are calculated as part of taxable income even if not sold.
🤔 The bill responds to IRS amendments from August 2023, which required staking rewards in Proof-of-Stake networks to be included in taxable income calculations.
🚖 New proposal ensures that taxes are only levied upon the actual realization of the income, simplifying the process for investors and aligning with the fair market value declarations.
