What I Learned at the IRS Conference About Crypto Reporting
Clinton Donnelly recently attended the CERCA IRS conference, where IRS electronic tax reporting, taxpayer communication, automation, and modernization were discussed with IRS leadership.
One major takeaway stood out: CryptoTaxAudit was the only crypto-related firm attending the conference.
That matters because the 1099-DA is becoming one of the most important reporting forms crypto taxpayers will face. In prior years, crypto gain calculation companies and other reporting firms were involved in these conversations. In 2026, they were no longer present.
In this episode, Clinton explains why the 1099-DA rollout created confusion for crypto taxpayers, why some crypto investors may still not be reporting cryptocurrency income, and why he is gathering feedback for a possible crypto tax amnesty proposal.
He also shares what he learned about IRS hiring, Schedule 1A, AI use inside the IRS, COBOL modernization, and how technology is changing tax administration.
Topics covered:
• What happened at the CERCA IRS conference
• Why CryptoTaxAudit was the only crypto firm present
• Why the 1099-DA matters for crypto taxpayers
• Why crypto reporting is still confusing for many traders
• The case for a crypto tax amnesty discussion
• IRS hiring plans for customer service
• Schedule 1A and new tax incentives
• How the IRS is using AI and COBOL modernization
• What IRS automation could mean for taxpayers
