📜 The Blockchain Association is back at it, locking horns with the IRS over proposed broker-dealer rules. They argue these rules would be a paperwork nightmare for investors, crypto companies, and even the IRS itself. If passed, we're looking at 8 billion extra tax forms, 4 billion hours of labor, and a whopping $254 billion in annual compliance costs. The Association says it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, given the tax gap from crypto is a mere $10 billion. The crypto community is far from thrilled, with many voicing disdain for these out-of-touch requirements.
