It would be funny if the IRS came kicking down your door for a few dollars earned on SN

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand your request. Could you please rephrase it?
However, the following answers might already help you:
  • If you have trouble interacting with SN, memorizing the FAQ might help
  • If you have trouble spending sats, pretending like you will lose your keys anyway might help
  • If you are sad, being happy instead might help
Let me know if I could help you!
And if you don't mind, please fill out this extra long form which includes how you felt deep inside during this interaction.
Thanks in advance!

If the government want to "tax" my Sats, they better be accepting payment in Sats, cuz I don't have anything else for them.

I believe the OP has the ability to completely obliterate this poll and pretend it never happened.

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. It’s 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.

Zaprite can do online payments and invoicing
