The U.S. IRS has extended temporary tax relief for cryptocurrency investors until the end of 2026, allowing them to use alternative methods to calculate capital gains instead of relying solely on broker-submitted reports. This is the second such extension and aims to reduce tax burdens for investors. Previously, the mandatory FIFO (first-in, first-out) method often resulted in higher taxes by requiring the sale of older, more appreciated coins first. The alternative methods enable investors to potentially report more recent, lower-gain or loss-making sales. The relief also addresses operational challenges for crypto exchanges, which faced significant compliance burdens under the stricter reporting rules. The IRS is gradually phasing in reporting requirements and has proposed making electronic submission the default for tax documents.
