From mining and staking to NFTs and airdrops, they break down the latest guidance, including the infamous 'wash sale' rule changes and the new 1099-DA form. Lucas shares a specific example of a taxpayer who got hit with a surprise tax bill from a hard fork, and Luna brings up the debate over whether crypto should be taxed as property or currency. They also touch on international reporting requirements and the future of digital dollar taxation.
