The IRS has issued a temporary relief measure, expected to benefit cryptocurrency holders on centralized finance (CEFI) platforms in 2025. This regulation will take effect on January 1, 2025, requiring the use of a first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting method for crypto assets unless opting for other preferred methods like highest-in, first-out (HIFO) or Spec ID. The IRS's temporary relief allows taxpayers to continue using their own records or tax software to identify specific assets being sold. This relief period only applies to CEFI trades between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. After this date, taxpayers will need to formally choose an accounting method with their brokers.
