The IRS has used Palantir for nearly a decade to normalize and analyze large datasets, including tax data. With tools like Palantir Foundry, government agencies can now analyze blockchain transactions alongside traditional financial information In Europe, DAC8 implements the OECD’s Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), enabling cross-border sharing of crypto transaction data between tax authorities. While the U.S. has not formally joined CARF yet, Treasury has recommended participation and the White House is reviewing it This means:• Foreign exchanges may report crypto activity to local tax authorities• That data can be shared internationally• The IRS may receive partial but significant transaction data• Taxpayers are still expected to accurately report their crypto incomeAvoiding centralized exchanges or staying in DeFi does not remove reporting issues, eventual cash-outs require cost basis documentationWhat crypto traders should do now!This is the year to focus on complete, accurate crypto tax reporting.
