IRS considers making crypto tax forms as easy to get as stock forms

The US Treasury and IRS are holding a public hearing about proposed rules for how crypto brokers send tax statements. If these rules become final, brokers would send tax forms for digital asset sales electronically, not by paper mail.

The US government wants to track crypto transactions as easily as stock sales. This hearing is a step towards making tax reporting for digital assets more consistent. It means the IRS expects to get better data on who is selling what, and for how much.
