Clinton explores two main approaches that the IRS uses to enforce digital asset compliance: audits and criminal enforcement. In the first approach, the IRS determines who to audit, in part, based on whether taxpayers report as much income on their tax returns as the IRS knows about, since crypto exchanges and brokerages in the U.S. report all transactions to the IRS each year. The second approach is criminal enforcement, where the ...
Clinton raises the possibility that recent regulatory actions against the crypto industry could be part of a larger plan to regulate or even kill off crypto investing in America.

Clinton explores the topic of whether the current tax break limit for capital losses should be changed.

He explains how capital gains and losses are taxed, and the annual limit on the amount of capital loss that can be deducted. The dist...
Clinton discusses how cryptocurrency theft losses (thefts, rug pulls, and scams) can be claimed to reduce tax bills. By claiming theft losses, investors can itemize deductions and save money on their taxes, even if they lost money due to closures of exchanges. However, claiming theft losses can be difficult as investors must prove the asset was taken with criminal intent, which can be challenging to prove. In the case of the FTX ex...
Clinton discusses the issue of tax non-compliance among US crypto investors. Despite the IRS Commissioner's announcement that the IRS could bring in another $1 trillion if given additional funding, there are many crypto investors who haven't paid taxes on their crypto income, leading to a $46 billion increase in funding for digital asset enforcement. This problem is most prevalent among taxpayers aged 18 to 44. The cause of...
