This bill cancels a new IRS rule that would have required brokers of digital assets, such as cryptocurrency, to report customers' gross proceeds to the IRS. The rule was set to take effect in 2025. By disapproving the rule, the bill stops the IRS from enforcing this reporting requirement.

The bill affects anyone who buys or sells digital assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum. If the rule had stayed, brokers would have had to send reports to the IRS about customers' transactions, which could have led to more tax enforcement. Without the rule, those reports are not required.

The debate

What each side says

Supporters
  • The rule would impose heavy paperwork and costs on digital asset brokers, especially smaller ones, making it harder for them to operate.bill
  • The rule could drive digital asset trading away from regulated brokers to unregulated platforms, reducing transparency.report
  • The rule was issued too quickly without enough input from the public and industry, so it should be reconsidered.report
Critics
  • Without the rule, the IRS will have less information to track digital asset transactions, making it easier for people to avoid paying taxes on gains.report
  • The rule was designed to close a gap in tax reporting for digital assets, similar to how stocks and bonds are reported, and canceling it creates an unfair advantage for digital asset investors.report
