The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) faces renewed legal pressure regarding the taxation of cryptocurrency staking rewards. On October 10, 2024, Josh Jarrett, supported by Coin Center, filed a new lawsuit against the IRS’s approach of taxing block rewards as income at the time they are earned.

Details of the Crypto Tax Lawsuit

The lawsuit claims that the IRS treats block rewards not as newly created property, but as income at the moment they are received. Jarrett and Coin Center argue that this approach is unfair, stating that block rewards should be taxed only during sales or cash exchanges.

This latest lawsuit is Jarrett’s second challenge against the IRS concerning the taxation of staking rewards. A similar lawsuit was filed in 2021, where the IRS had issued refunds for the previous year’s tax payments but failed to provide guidance for subsequent years. In 2023, the IRS published new guidelines indicating that staking rewards would be considered income at the time of receipt.

Proposed Legislation and IRS Policy Changes

In the first half of 2024, a bill was introduced in the House, suggesting that staking rewards should only be taxed when sold. The lawsuit was initiated to prompt the IRS to make its policy more reasonable before the legislative process unfolds. Starting in 2025, the IRS will require crypto brokers and other wallet providers to report customer transactions.

These new regulations will extend the taxation of digital asset transactions to include high-value NFTs and certain stablecoin transactions. The current tax policy impacts many cryptocurrency users employing the Proof-of-Stake system, with the obligation to tax every reward’s value imposing additional burdens on taxpayers.

Should the lawsuit conclude in favor of Jarrett, the IRS’s policy on evaluating staking rewards as income may change. This would represent a significant development for the cryptocurrency community and Proof-of-Stake networks. The judicial process will play a critical role in establishing the legal framework for the taxation of crypto assets.

Staking is a method used by cryptocurrency networks’ validators to add blocks to the blockchain. In this process, validators are rewarded with newly created tokens. Jarrett argues that the tokens he earned through staking on the Tezos network should not be assessed as income until sold.

The lawsuit asserts that the IRS’s existing policy imposes unnecessary regulatory burden on taxpayers and hinders the development of crypto networks. The cryptocurrency community has expressed concerns that such regulations could negatively impact innovation and the decentralized structure of networks.

New legal regulations and the outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the future taxation of crypto assets. Cryptocurrency users and other stakeholders are closely monitoring how these policies will evolve.
