Subsequent to seeing that the quantity of assessment forms guaranteeing picks up from virtual money didn't agree with the rising fame of advanced monetary standards like bitcoin as a speculation vehicle, the IRS requested that Coinbase hand over a wide swath of data on its clients.

Again, these individual information solicitations will just apply to accounts that have purchased, sold, sent or got more than $20,000 in any of those sorts of exchanges in the vicinity of 2013 and 2015.
