On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill in a 228-206 vote, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden for his signature.
The bipartisan infrastructure bill contains a cryptocurrency tax reporting requirement.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act would put $550 billion of new funding into transportation projects, the utility grid, and broadband. Including $110 billion for roads, bridges, and other major projects, along with $66 billion for passenger and freight rail and $39 billion for public transit.
There is a component within the bill for the crypto industry that seeks to expand the definition of a broker for IRS purposes.
