โ€œYou canโ€™t save without permission if you canโ€™t spend without permission.โ€ โ€” nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx

The new IRS per-wallet cost basis is permissioned spending enforced by fear. Weaponized accounting.

Who is working on fixing this? #Bitcoin

This is new to me, any info you could share on this plz?

As of yesterday, the IRS no longer allows cross-wallet/cross-account cost basis accounting. Each wallet or custodial account has its own cost basis for capital gains tax calculations.

This is an attack of Bitcoin fungibility for white-market usage. It was burdensome enough to track cost basis for accounting before, but now, to be compliant, you ALSO have to track every self-transaction (withdrawing from exchange, wallet-to-wallet, etc.)

Thank you for this!

Havenโ€™t found a link to the actual IRS announcement, but this is a start. ๐Ÿ™

If you find one, please post. Would be good to confirm. I'll circle back if I find anything.
