Crypto Backers Wary of Possible Tax Loophole Closure

Legislation and proposed regulations on cryptocurrency have the potential to answer some open questions about the taxation of digital assets, though not all of the possible changes may be welcomed by industry. A bill from Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) touches on a variety of crypto tax issues. It would provide a narrow definition of broker for tax reporting, require the marking of crypto assets to market for year-end accounting purposes, and closea tax loophole that may upset some in the industry. The Senate Finance Committee also asked for more information on those crypto taxation issues earlier this fall. On this episode of Talking Tax, Lisa Zarlenga, the head of Steptoe & Johnson LLPs tax policy practice and a former tax legislative counsel at the Treasury Department, spoke to Bloomberg Tax about that legislation and new proposed regulations on tax reporting rules for crypto brokers. Closing a tax loophole that allows investors to claim losses by quickly selling and repurchasing their digital assets, for example, may be difficult to implement as some investors would trigger the rule unintentionally, she said.

NCAA at Supreme Court: The Perfect March Madness

A day after the NCAA wraps up basketball's Elite Eight, the Supreme Court team of nine will consider whether collegiate athletes can receive compensation. The justices will hear argument March 31 in an antitrust case where the Ninth Circuit invalidated limits on education-related compensation for college athletes, but preserved the NCAA’s ban on outright pay. That argument, which will conclude the March sitting, will be preceded by two other class action cases. These include efforts to limit securities actions and the damages available to class members. Check out the pregame action with Bloomberg Law's Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin in the latest "Sneak Peek" edition of the Cases and Controversies.

Death Row Defendants Find Few Wins at Supreme Court

Death penalty cases are often adjudicated for years, if not decades, before they reach the Supreme Court. But once they do, the justices must make life-or-death decisions in a relatively quick amount of time. Death penalty cases at the Supreme Court often come through the court's emergency, or "shadow" docket. In recent years, the court's conservatives have handed down rulings that closed off several avenues for capital defendants to get a rehearing of their case, or to even to challenge their method of execution. On this special episode of Cases & Controversies, Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler take a look at what the court's rulings mean for how the death penalty works in America, and what happens at the court when an 11th hour request comes in. Do you have feedback on this episode of Cases & Controversies? Give us a call and leave a voicemail at 703-341-3690.
