Learning Objective

  • To discuss an overview of how Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies operate.
  • To recognize the difference between proof of work vs. proof of stake in verifying the blockchain.
  • To analyze how to prepare a proper tax return with cryptocurrency transactions.
  • To identify common money laundering violations involving cryptocurrencies.
  • To identify the tools used by the IRS to identify cryptocurrency transactions for civil and criminal violations.
  • To discuss real-life examples of cryptocurrency transactions.

Course Overview

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have created a new generation of millionaires, with the benefit of anonymity. Whether the cryptocurrency is being used for criminal activity or held as a legitimate investment, the IRS is spending substantial resources in finding those who possess, purchase, and sell cryptocurrencies to ensure that the tax, banking, and money laundering laws are being followed.

The major questions that come here are:

  • Are you or your firm prepared to advise your client when reporting cryptocurrency transactions?
  • Can you identify when cryptocurrency is being used for potentially criminal purposes?
  • Can you prepare an accurate tax return related to cryptocurrency transactions?
  • Do you know what questions to ask your client or what documents to request?

This CPE course will give you a brief overview of cryptocurrencies, how this new technology is being regulated, the common ways that cryptocurrencies are used to evade tax and money laundering laws, and what is expected from taxpayers and their return preparers when cryptocurrencies are involved.

The major topics covered in this CE Tax Course include:

  • Overview of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
  • Definition of proof of work and proof of stake
  • Tax laws regarding cryptocurrency transactions
  • Definition of common money laundering laws involving cryptocurrencies
  • Tools used by the IRS to identify cryptocurrency transactions and cryptocurrency in criminal investigations
  • Real-life examples of cryptocurrency used in criminal activities

Your instructor, Robert Nordlander, is a former special agent with IRS Criminal Investigation. He spent many years finding, investigating, and prosecuting tax and money laundering crimes that were using cryptocurrency as a form of payment.

This was the best webinar I've attended on Cryptocurrency as I learned how it actually works in fairly simply laid out information. From there the rest of the course was easier to follow and get good information out of.

Lisa Foley, EA

I was very impressed with his knowledge and presentation. His slides were very well laid out and while there was a lot of information it was well laid out on not overly complicated even though the topic is quite complex.
