Isn't it SN's responsibility to issue 1099 to users who stacked more than $600. I don't know many stackers that have stacked beyond this de minimis exemption amount in a single year.
This could be somewhat of a vulnerability in SN's design since every Zap is technically a payment from SN's node. Whereas something more p2p like nostr, users would issue 1099s to other users which they tipped $600 or more personally.
Stacking $600 or more is one thing. Itβs doing the zapping I was more interested in, considering how Bitcoin payment transactions are handled by tax law
This is a great question. I have been researching how to accept BTC/SATS as payment (in lieu of/in addition to) fiat.
The regulation in the space (especially if I want a bank to custody the assets) (I have a board of directors and we do have Umbrel in development, but ultimately, we would want to custody with our bank) is.... confusing.
Where are the lawyers/accountants with expertise in this domain that my board can hire to provide input?
Let alone the 1099/600 threshold, dealing with exchange rates etc etc etc. Every report I've seen on forums from folks who try todo this above board/legit, say it's a nightmare and the IRS doesn't even have definitive answers.
