Overview
According to a survey done by the Pew Research Center results published in November 2021, 16% of Americans indicated they personally have invested in, traded or otherwise used virtual currency. Additionally, the number of people investing in or engaging in transactions involving virtual currency continues to increase.
These statistics strongly suggest that tax preparers must be aware of the nature of virtual currency and its tax treatment. It’s to provide that awareness that Tax Treatment of Virtual Currency was written.
