IRS加密税务负责人的辞职留下了关键的差距

当两名高级IRS加密官员离开职位时，美国的加密社区现在正在研究一种新型的税收不确定性。

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.

加密税税也许是政府武器库中最令人恐惧的工具，以规范数字资产的爆炸性增长。这里的不确定性绝不是一个受欢迎的信号。现在，由于两个高级IRS加密官员以一个关键的关头离开，美国的加密社区现在正在寻找一种新型的税收不确定性。

Who has left the IRS?

谁离开了国税局？

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·威尔克斯（Seth Wilks）和拉吉·穆克吉（Raj Mukherjee）帮助制定了数字资产政策，他们离开了他们的职位，因为1099-da形式接近其第一个执法截止日期。他们仅在去年加入了国税局，并根据联邦总督的自愿辞职计划，于5月2日脱离了职务。

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.

当交易员，平台和税务专业人士准备在2025年强制使用1099-DA表格时，他们的出口就出现了，该表格旨在帮助经纪人更准确，一致地报告Crypto活动。

Crypto Tax Leaders’ resignations leave a critical gap

加密税收负责人的辞职留下了关键的差距

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.

威尔克斯（Wilks）和穆克吉（Mukherjee）是IRS数字资产倡议的领导者，他们负责指导如何跟踪加密活动。他们被引入以帮助该机构为加密货币和其他数字资产建立服务，报告，合规和执法计划的努力。

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

这对二人的工作塑造了1099-DA表格的关键方面，还帮助将税收实施与区块链实践保持一致。

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.

现在，由于两者都离开办公室，加密税收制度将面临领导真空。如果没有明确的替代者，用户和交流可能不知道未来几个月对IRS的期望。指导的任何延迟都可以增加遵守风险或在下一个税收周期中导致混乱。

Digital Asset Rules May Shift Without Industry-Informed Leadership

数字资产规则可能会在没有行业信息领导的情况下发生变化

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.

两位领导人都将加密行业的经验带入了国税局。威尔克斯之前曾与Taxbit合作，Mukherjee在Consensys and Binance担任高级税收职务。这有助于在监管机构和平台之间建立桥梁，如果继任者缺乏相同的理解，这种平衡就会失去。

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.

两人还制定了Defi报告规则，其中一些是在今年早些时候被国会逆转的。这些规则的清晰度也可能会随着其离开而延迟。

IRS Staff Exits Add Pressure Before 2025 Filing Begins

IRS员工退出在2025年开始之前增加压力

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.

今年早些时候，政府效率部（DOGE）提出了一项自愿辞职计划，为联邦雇员提供了尽早离开劳动力的选择。超过20,000名IRS员工签署了签署，其中包括数字资产监督的员工。

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.

这种出口的海啸造成了整个部门的主要人员配备差距。从那以后，美国国税局（IRS）尚未因其加密税税的任何继任者而任命任何继任者。在约会之前，加密货币社区很可能没有任何明确的方向。

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.

在政策不确定性的情况下，加密货币社区一直在敦促政府为了清楚起来很长时间。著名的加密律师约翰·迪顿（John Deaton）最近概述了美国加密监管的五点计划，呼吁采取紧迫的行动来制定明确的规则。
