TREE NEWS update: A proposed US bill would create a dedicated disclosure program allowing crypto investors to correct past tax reporting errors, with reduced penalties for eligible taxpayers. The measure targets those who made what the bill frames as honest mistakes in reporting digital-asset holdings and transactions. No details on penalty rates or an effective date were provided.
US Bill Would Let Crypto Investors Fix Past Tax Reporting Mistakes
This bill signals a shift toward treating crypto tax errors as a compliance problem rather than an enforcement target, which matters for retail holders who have stayed on the sidelines of voluntary disclosure. The absence of penalty rates and an effective date leaves the practical value unclear, and the program's design will determine whether it draws in smaller holders or mainly benefits those with larger exposures. Whether the measure advances beyond a proposal, and how eligibility is defined, is the open question.
