About the course

Money is changing. Consumers can now purchase digital assets, receive cryptocurrency as compensation, transfer assets through digital wallets, exchange one digital asset for another, and participate in financial systems that did not exist for previous generations. But technological change does not eliminate financial responsibility. Crypto and the IRS is designed to help students understand the evolution of money, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, digital assets, digital wallets, taxation, recordkeeping, security, fraud, and the developing digital financial economy. This course does not teach students which cryptocurrency to purchase or promise investment returns — students learn how the system works so they can make informed financial decisions and understand their tax and reporting responsibilities. This course is for general financial education purposes only and does not constitute tax, legal, or investment advice.

COURSE PROMISE

Digital assets are no longer a niche curiosity — millions of people now buy, sell, spend, and earn cryptocurrency without understanding what any of it means for their taxes. Crypto and the IRS is designed to help students understand the evolution of money, blockchain technology, digital assets, digital wallets, and the federal tax concepts that apply when those assets are purchased, exchanged, spent, or sold. Students will learn how to evaluate: The property treatment of digital assets, Cost basis and holding period, Capital gains and losses, Form 1099-DA broker reporting, Form 8949 and Schedule D, Ordinary income from services and staking rewards, Self-transfers versus dispositions, Crypto used in a business, Recordkeeping for digital-asset transactions, Common crypto scams and security practices, and When professional tax advice is necessary. The goal is not to recommend a cryptocurrency or promise investment returns. The goal is to teach students how the digital financial system actually works, so they can make informed decisions and meet their own recordkeeping and reporting responsibilities.

MARKETING MESSAGE

You Bought It. You Sold It. You Spent It. But Did You Track It? Bitcoin. Ethereum. Stablecoins. NFTs. You have heard the terms — but do you actually know what the IRS expects when you buy, sell, exchange, or earn digital assets? Crypto and the IRS takes you beyond the headlines and teaches you how digital assets are actually treated under federal tax concepts: what creates a taxable event, how cost basis and holding periods work, what Form 1099-DA does and doesn't tell you, and how to keep the records that protect you at tax time. Stop guessing based on a video you saw online. Understand the transactions. Understand the taxes. Understand the responsibility. Presented by Money Triumphs Academy™. Instructor: Dr. Bianca R. Adams, PhD, EA, PMP.
