Hey ,

I am writing to inform you of a recent development regarding the reporting of digital asset transactions for businesses. The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued an announcement that temporarily delays the requirement for businesses to report the receipt of digital assets in the same way as they report cash.

Here's a summary of the key points:

• The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act expanded the reporting requirements for cash transactions of $10,000 or more to include digital assets.
• Announcement 2024-4 provides transitional guidance and delays the application of this new rule to digital assets until further regulations are issued by Treasury and the IRS.
• This means businesses are not currently required to file Form 8300 (Report of Cash Payments over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business) for digital asset transactions exceeding $10,000.
• The announcement does not affect existing reporting requirements for cash transactions. Businesses still need to comply with the existing rules for cash received in the course of a trade or business, reported on Form 8300 within 15 days.
• Treasury and the IRS plan to issue proposed regulations in the future to provide more details and procedures for reporting digital asset transactions. The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on these proposed regulations.

What does this mean for you?

• If you are a business that receives digital assets as part of your operations, you are not currently required to report these transactions as you would cash transactions.
• You must stay informed about future regulations regarding digital asset reporting. I will keep you updated on any new developments related to this topic.
• If you have any questions or concerns about your specific situation, please do not hesitate to reach out to me and my team. We are here to help you navigate this evolving landscape.

I hope this information is helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
