Cryptocurrency is once again making big waves in the news thanks to Bitcoin and Dogecoin riding high, Tesla accepting payment in the form of Bitcoin, and the IRS asking about it on your tax forms. But without proper guidance from the IRS, there are still plenty of questions surrounding crypto taxes and the specifics of cryptocurrency compliance.
