Coin Center has launched a complaint against the US Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, alleging that an illegal crypto tax reporting provision was included in the disputed infrastructure bill. The law mandates US taxpayers who receive crypto assets worth more than $10,000 to keep track of the sender’s Social Security Number and other personal details, according to Forbes India.
Coin Center has sued the US government for compelling organisations to keep and disclose the member lists. Last year’s infrastructure bill included many clauses, including a disputed Bitcoin tax reporting requirement for brokers. Despite the fact that the provision was ultimately ineffective, it caused a major industry backlash.
