An IRS Insider’s Look At Crypto Tax

The IRS is enforcing the laws of cryptocurrency taxation more fervently than ever. Civil and criminal enforcement of cryptocurrency tax evasion is increasingly common due to the wide-scale participation of crypto exchanges, as well as increasingly powerful blockchain analysis tools.

Christopher Wajda, a former IRS ASAC (Assistant Special Agent in Charge) of the Criminal Investigation Division, and Alex Kugelman, a cryptocurrency tax controversy lawyer, join the show to discuss how the IRS is going about this enforcement and what can be done to avoid having a special agent show up at your door.
