美國國稅局為加密貨幣逃稅案件激增做好準備

隨著 4 月 15 日報稅截止日期的臨近，美國國稅局 (IRS) 預計與加密貨幣相關的逃稅活動將激增。美國國稅局刑事調查負責人蓋伊·菲科 (Guy Ficco) 預計，

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is preparing for a notable increase in cases of crypto tax evasion as U.S. citizens approach the April 15 tax filing deadline. IRS criminal investigation chief Guy Ficco, speaking at the Chainalysis Links event in New York, noted that his agency is anticipating more instances of tax fraud and evasion related to cryptocurrencies.

隨著美國公民 4 月 15 日的納稅申報截止日期臨近，美國國稅局 (IRS) 正在為加密貨幣逃稅案件的顯著增加做好準備。美國國稅局刑事調查負責人 Guy Ficco 在紐約舉行的 Chainaanalysis Links 活動上發表講話時指出，該機構預計將出現更多與加密貨幣相關的稅務詐欺和逃稅案件。

“There’s going to be a lot more charged Title 26 crypto cases this year and moving forward.”

您可能還會喜歡“今年以及今後將會有更多針對 Title 26 加密貨幣案件的指控。”

A Title 26 tax code refers to citizens who willfully evade paying taxes by lying or obfuscating their reporting documents.

Title 26 稅法是指透過說謊或混淆申報文件故意逃稅的公民。

Ficco explained that while crypto has previously been primarily used in financial crimes such as fraud, scams, and money laundering, the agency has recently observed a significant rise in “pure crypto tax crimes.” This includes cases of not reporting income generated from crypto sales or hiding the true basis of crypto assets.

Ficco 解釋說，雖然加密貨幣先前主要用於欺詐、詐騙和洗錢等金融犯罪，但該機構最近觀察到「純加密貨幣稅務犯罪」顯著增加。這包括不報告加密貨幣銷售產生的收入或隱藏加密資產的真實基礎的情況。

To tackle these issues, the IRS has partnered with blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis and other law enforcement agencies to enhance their ability to combat crypto crime. Ficco praised his special agents for their ability to track and follow money, though highlighted the value of expert support from Chainalysis in the crypto world.

Ficco 表示，他的機構已做好應對加密貨幣稅務犯罪增加的準備。資料來源：CNBC 為了解決這些問題，美國國稅局與區塊鏈分析公司 Chainaanalysis 和其他執法機構合作，以增強其打擊加密貨幣犯罪的能力。 Ficco 讚揚了他的特工追蹤和追蹤資金的能力，同時強調了 Chainaanalysis 專家支持在加密世界中的價值。

Ficco offered guidance for those filing taxes to avoid penalties from the IRS. He emphasised the importance of accurately reporting gains from the sale of crypto assets. For instance, if someone purchases an asset for $10,000 and sells it for $20,000, they must pay taxes on the $10,000 gain.

Ficco 為納稅人提供指導，以避免美國國稅局的處罰。他強調了準確報告加密資產銷售收益的重要性。例如，如果有人以 10,000 美元購買資產並以 20,000 美元出售，則他們必須為 10,000 美元的收益納稅。

The IRS has become more assertive in investigating and prosecuting U.S. citizens who fail to report their crypto taxes accurately. On February 6, a federal grand jury indicted Texas resident Frank Richard Ahlgren III for filing false tax returns and failing to report gains of over $4 million made on Bitcoin.

美國國稅局在調查和起訴未能準確報告加密貨幣稅的美國公民方面變得更加自信。 2 月6 日，聯邦大陪審團起訴德州居民弗蘭克·理查德·阿爾格倫三世(Frank Richard Ahlgren III) 提交虛假納稅申報表，並且未能報告超過400 萬美元的比特幣收益。
