Decoding the IRS Proposed Rules: How Will Cryptocurrency and NFTs be Taxed?

“Currently, the tax landscape for cryptocurrency and NFTs is somewhat ambiguous. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property rather than currency, which means that capital gains tax can be applied when cryptocurrency is sold or exchanged. NFTs, being a relatively new asset class, have not yet been specifically addressed by the IRS. However, it is likely that they will be treated similarly to other digital assets, such as cryptocurrency or virtual currencies.”
