[The IRS releases a new draft of the crypto tax form and solicits public comments] Golden Finance reported that the IRS has released an updated draft version of the tax form 1099-DA used by cryptocurrency brokers and investors to report certain transaction gains, inviting the industry to participate in the discussion. The public has 30 days to provide the IRS with comments on the proposed 1099-DA. IRS officials said that the crypto 1099 form will "bring more convenience and clarity" to those who pay US crypto taxes. It is reported that the newly released updated version of 1099-DA is more streamlined than the first draft of the tax return proposed by the IRS in April. The items for investors to fill in wallet addresses and transaction IDs have been deleted (which caused privacy-related disputes when the form was first released). In addition, the form no longer requires the time of the relevant transaction to be filled in, only the date. Drew Hinkes, a cryptocurrency lawyer and partner at K&L Gates Law Firm in Miami, wrote on X that the updated form "has been greatly improved, reduced the burden, and the required data reporting has been greatly reduced."
