As a curious individual interested in the intersection of cryptocurrency and finance, I find myself wondering: Does the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) actually maintain a currency exchange rate for the purposes of taxation on cryptocurrency transactions? With the growing popularity and adoption of digital currencies, it's essential to understand the tax implications and how the IRS handles these new forms of wealth. Does the IRS have a set method or standard for determining the value of cryptocurrencies for tax purposes, or do taxpayers need to rely on external sources for accurate exchange rates?

Typically, the IRS accepts any consistently used exchange rate that is publicly available.

This means that taxpayers can choose the rate that best represents the fair market value of their cryptocurrencies on the date of the transaction.
