Wolters Kluwer regulatory compliance, tax experts to host webinar exploring new cryptocurrency tax reporting rules

Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions is set to host a webinar focused on exploring the newly enacted U.S. cryptocurrency tax reporting rules and their impact. The webinar, “Understanding the New Cryptocurrency Reporting Rules and Their Impact on Brokers and Financial Institutions,” will take place from 3-4 pm EST Tuesday, December 7, 2021.

The Infrastructure Act recently signed into law by President Biden explicitly requires IRS Form 1099-B gross proceeds and cost basis tax reporting for U.S. sales of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, effective beginning for returns required to be filed in 2024. An overview of this new requirement and important initial implications will be provided, and other virtual currency tax developments also will be discussed, time permitting.

Representing Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions on the webinar are Stevie Conlon, Vice President, Tax & Regulatory Counsel; Anna Vayser, Investment Compliance Solutions Corporate Actions Product Manager; and Robert Schwaba, Manager, Specialized Consulting, Tax & Regulatory. The participants have co-authored a number of tax articles relating to cryptocurrencies since 2018.

"Cryptocurrencies and other digital assets present a range of challenges as well as new opportunities in today’s financial services landscape,” said Steve Meirink, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions. “It is critical for brokers, investors and all other market participants to be fully aware of tax reporting protocols and the changing tax and regulatory landscape in order to remain fully compliant.”
