‘Overbroad and irrelevant’ – Coinbase user’s IRS battle ends in dismissal

Cryptocurrency investor Roger Metz's legal challenge to block an IRS summons for his financial records was dismissed by a U.S. court. The IRS sought extensive data—including account details, transaction logs, and private communications—from his Coinbase account, dating back years, during an audit of his 2022 tax return. Metz argued the request was "overbroad and irrelevant" and violated his privacy. However, the court dismissed the case on procedural grounds, noting Metz failed to notify required government entities within the mandated 90-day period. While the IRS maintains strict crypto reporting rules, it has eased some requirements for the 2025-2026 tax period.

US Court Dismisses Coinbase User’s IRS Summons Challenge

A California court dismissed a Coinbase user's petition to block an IRS summons for his financial records. Roger Metz filed the petition in May 2025, arguing the summons violated his privacy and was overly broad, despite having already filed an amended return and paid additional taxes. The court ruled against him on procedural grounds, as he failed to notify the U.S. Attorney General within the required 90-day window. This ruling reinforces the IRS's authority to obtain user data from centralized crypto exchanges, following a similar dismissed case involving another Coinbase user in 2025.
