IRS moves to tax foreign cryptocurrency accounts

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is moving closer to taxing Americans' overseas cryptocurrency accounts if the White House grants its approval. According to Yahoo! Finance, the new rules would bring the U.S. into the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or CARF, a global agreement that allows member nations to share information about cryptocurrency holdings and combat tax evasion. All other G7 nations have already joined the agreement.
