The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law on Nov. 15, 2021. It includes new reporting requirements that will generally apply to digital asset transactions starting in 2023. Cryptocurrency exchanges will be required to perform intermediary Form 1099 reporting for crypto transactions. The law expands the definition of brokers who must furnish Forms 1099-B to include businesses that are responsible for regularly providing any service accomplishing transfers of digital assets on behalf of another person. The law will also require businesses to report any digital asset transaction of $10,000 or more to the IRS, including the identity of the persons involved.
