The IRS proposed new regulations on Thursday that would allow cryptocurrency exchanges to require customers to receive tax forms electronically, such as the 1099-DA form that reports total gains from digital asset transactions, whereas previously exchanges had to provide a paper form option.

Under the new tax reporting system implemented this year, cryptocurrency exchanges are required to report total gains and cost basis, and the IRS will automatically obtain detailed profit and loss data, thereby enhancing compliance oversight for cryptocurrency holders. The new regulations also allow exchanges to terminate business relationships with customers who refuse to receive tax documents electronically. The proposal has not yet been finalized and is currently open for public comment. It has been reported that cryptocurrency tax software platforms have seen a significant increase in the number of IRS warning letters received by U.S. users, reminding them that cryptocurrency transactions may be taxable and must be reported as required.
