Bitcoins Treated as Property

Most people have at least heard of Bitcoins, a virtual currency that is becoming quite popular (and more accepted) around the world. Perhaps you’ve even accumulated some Bitcoins yourself. If so, you may be wondering how exactly to treat those Bitcoins on your taxes.

 Apparently, a lot of other people were too because the IRS recently released a statement saying that Bitcoins should be included on taxes as property, not currency. That means that Bitcoins will be treated just like regular assets and potentially subject to capital gains taxes.

FinanceIf you’re using Bitcoins, you need to learn more about this relatively new currency and the effect that its use could potentially have on your financial status. Fortunately, there are many companies that provide skilled financial services and that know the ins and outs of Bitcoins.


And, even if you’re not using Bitcoins, you could probably still use some help navigating today’s ever-changing financial world. No matter where you are in life, rely on qualified financial services, such as Platinum Financial Associates of Naperville, for assistance.
