Pup, thoughts on the Safe Harbor irs bs

1. It's absolutely retarded BS.

2. I filled out a form, and timestamped it, and took screenshots of my wallet balances.

Since they don't need to be submitted anywhere yet, I feel ok doing this as a precaution. Doing so at least gives you optionality in the future.

Ultimately, the Safe Harbor (per my understanding) is just a way to save on taxes and not be forced to use FIFO for all unused basis. If you don't do it, you'll likely just have to use FIFO and pay more in taxes.

3. I desperately hope this gets repealed with the new administration, or at the very least revised by people who have at least a halfway formed concept of digital assets and how they work.

Completely agree. Thank you for your articulation πŸ€˜πŸΌπŸ«‚

It’s all dumb. I hate it.

Welcome to fiat.

It would be annoying enough if it were only the transition to wallet-to-wallet accounting. The safe harbor at the very least, exempts assets acquired before 1/1/25 from this stringent and oppressive reporting.
