Could you please elaborate on the IRS cryptoasset guidance? I'm curious to understand how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approaches the taxation of cryptocurrency assets. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing what the IRS considers a cryptoasset, how it determines the taxable event for these assets, and what recordkeeping requirements are imposed on investors and traders. Additionally, I'm wondering if there are any special tax rates or exemptions applicable to cryptoassets, and how the IRS handles transactions involving crypto-to-crypto exchanges. I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive overview of the IRS's guidance on cryptoassets to help me navigate the tax implications of investing in this area.
