Latest Action · July 25, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
This bill would allow individuals to exclude small gains or losses from federal income taxes when they sell or exchange virtual currency like cryptocurrency. The exemption applies only to transactions where the total value is $200 or less and the gain or loss is $200 or less, with related transactions counted together to prevent people from splitting deals to stay under the threshold. The exemption does not apply to virtual currency sales for cash, property used in business, or property held to generate income, which would still require tax reporting. The $200 threshold would automatically increase each year after 2025 to account for inflation. The changes would take effect for transactions occurring after December 31, 2024.
