IRS加密稅務負責人的辭職留下了關鍵的差距

當兩名高級IRS加密官員離開職位時，美國的加密社區現在正在研究一種新型的稅收不確定性。

Crypto tax is perhaps the most feared tool in the government’s arsenal to regulate the explosive growth of digital assets. An uncertainty here is never a welcome sign. The crypto community in the US is now looking at a new type of tax uncertainty as two senior IRS crypto officials leave at a crucial juncture.

加密稅稅也許是政府武器庫中最令人恐懼的工具，以規範數字資產的爆炸性增長。這裡的不確定性絕不是一個受歡迎的信號。現在，由於兩個高級IRS加密官員以一個關鍵的關頭離開，美國的加密社區現在正在尋找一種新型的稅收不確定性。

Who has left the IRS?

誰離開了國稅局？

Seth Wilks and Raj Mukherjee, who helped develop the digital asset policy, have left their posts just as the 1099-DA form nears its first enforcement deadline. They joined the IRS just last year and stepped away from their roles on May 2 under a federal DOGE’s voluntary resignation program.

塞思·威爾克斯（Seth Wilks）和拉吉·穆克吉（Raj Mukherjee）幫助制定了數字資產政策，他們離開了他們的職位，因為1099-da形式接近其第一個執法截止日期。他們僅在去年加入了國稅局，並根據聯邦總督的自願辭職計劃，於5月2日脫離了職務。

Their exit comes as traders, platforms, and tax professionals prepare for the mandatory use of the 1099-DA form in 2025, a form created to help brokers report crypto activity more accurately and consistently.

當交易員，平台和稅務專業人士準備在2025年強制使用1099-DA表格時，他們的出口就出現了，該表格旨在幫助經紀人更準確，一致地報告Crypto活動。

Crypto Tax Leaders’ resignations leave a critical gap

加密稅收負責人的辭職留下了關鍵的差距

Wilks and Mukherjee were leaders of the IRS Digital Asset Initiative, and they were responsible for guiding how crypto activity should be tracked and reported. They were brought in to help lead the agency’s efforts to build service, reporting, compliance, and enforcement programs on cryptocurrency and other digital assets.

威爾克斯（Wilks）和穆克吉（Mukherjee）是IRS數字資產倡議的領導者，他們負責指導如何跟踪加密活動。他們被引入以幫助該機構為加密貨幣和其他數字資產建立服務，報告，合規和執法計劃的努力。

The duo’s work has shaped key aspects of the 1099-DA form and also helped align tax implementation with blockchain practices.

這對二人的工作塑造了1099-DA表格的關鍵方面，還幫助將稅收實施與區塊鏈實踐保持一致。

Now with both out of the office, the crypto tax regime faces a leadership vacuum. Without clear replacements, users and exchanges may not know what to expect from the IRS in the next few months. Any delay in guidance can increase the compliance risk or lead to confusion during the next tax cycle.

現在，由於兩者都離開辦公室，加密稅收制度將面臨領導真空。如果沒有明確的替代者，用戶和交流可能不知道未來幾個月對IRS的期望。指導的任何延遲都可以增加遵守風險或在下一個稅收週期中導致混亂。

Digital Asset Rules May Shift Without Industry-Informed Leadership

數字資產規則可能會在沒有行業信息領導的情況下發生變化

Both leaders brought crypto industry experience into the IRS. Wilks previously worked with TaxBit, and Mukherjee held senior tax roles at ConsenSys and Binance. This helped build a bridge between regulators and platforms, and that balance can be lost if successors lack the same understanding.

兩位領導人都將加密行業的經驗帶入了國稅局。威爾克斯之前曾與Taxbit合作，Mukherjee在Consensys and Binance擔任高級稅收職務。這有助於在監管機構和平台之間建立橋樑，如果繼任者缺乏相同的理解，這種平衡就會失去。

The pair also worked on DeFi reporting rules, some of which were reversed by Congress earlier this year. Clarity on those rules may also be delayed with their departure.

兩人還制定了Defi報告規則，其中一些是在今年早些時候被國會逆轉的。這些規則的清晰度也可能會隨著其離開而延遲。

IRS Staff Exits Add Pressure Before 2025 Filing Begins

IRS員工退出在2025年開始之前增加壓力

Earlier this year, the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) introduced a voluntary resignation program that offered federal employees the option to leave the workforce early. More than 20,000 IRS staff members signed up, including those in digital asset oversight.

今年早些時候，政府效率部（DOGE）提出了一項自願辭職計劃，為聯邦僱員提供了儘早離開勞動力的選擇。超過20,000名IRS員工簽署了簽署，其中包括數字資產監督的員工。

This tsunami of exits created major staffing gaps across departments. And since then, the IRS has not named any successors for its crypto tax division yet. Until the appointments, the crypto community is likely left without any clear direction.

這種出口的海嘯造成了整個部門的主要人員配備差距。從那以後，美國國稅局（IRS）尚未因其加密稅稅的任何繼任者而任命任何繼任者。在約會之前，加密貨幣社區很可能沒有任何明確的方向。

Amid the policy uncertainty, the crypto community has been urging the government for clarity for a long time now. The prominent crypto lawyer John Deaton recently outlined a five-point plan for crypto regulation in the United States, calling for urgent action to establish clear rules.

在政策不確定性的情況下，加密貨幣社區一直在敦促政府為了清楚起來很長時間。著名的加密律師約翰·迪頓（John Deaton）最近概述了美國加密監管的五點計劃，呼籲採取緊迫的行動來製定明確的規則。
