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.

随着美国公民 4 月 15 日的纳税申报截止日期临近，美国国税局 (IRS) 正在为加密货币逃税案件的显着增加做好准备。美国国税局刑事调查负责人盖伊·菲科 (Guy Ficco) 在纽约举行的 Chainaanalysis Links 活动上发表讲话时指出，该机构预计将出现更多与加密货币相关的税务欺诈和逃税案件。

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

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

Title 26 税法是指通过撒谎或混淆报告文件故意逃税的公民。

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 解释说，虽然加密货币此前主要用于欺诈、诈骗和洗钱等金融犯罪，但该机构最近观察到“纯加密货币税务犯罪”显着增加。这包括不报告加密货币销售产生的收入或隐藏加密资产的真实基础的情况。

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 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 为纳税人提供指导，以避免美国国税局的处罚。他强调了准确报告加密资产销售收益的重要性。例如，如果有人以 10,000 美元购买资产并以 20,000 美元出售，则他们必须为 10,000 美元的收益纳税。

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.

美国国税局在调查和起诉未能准确报告加密货币税的美国公民方面变得更加自信。 2 月 6 日，联邦大陪审团起诉德克萨斯州居民弗兰克·理查德·阿尔格伦三世 (Frank Richard Ahlgren III) 提交虚假纳税申报表，并且未能报告超过 400 万美元的比特币收益。
