This measure cancels an IRS rule that would have made certain crypto “brokers” report details about digital asset sales to the IRS. It targets people and platforms that help carry out decentralized finance (DeFi) transactions. By voiding the rule, these brokers would not have to send new reports about customers’ crypto sale proceeds to the IRS. People who trade crypto may get fewer official tax forms, but they still must report and pay any taxes they owe on their own.
| Key point | What it means |
|---|---|
| Who is affected | Crypto brokers and platforms that help carry out DeFi transactions; crypto users indirectly |
| What changes | The new IRS reporting requirement is nullified, so these brokers do not have to file those sales reports |
| When | The resolution overturns the IRS rule that was issued on December 30, 2024 |
In short, this stops the planned IRS reporting rule for DeFi-related crypto sales. It reduces reporting by platforms, but does not change taxpayers’ duty to report income.
