Did SEC 1031 apply to bitcoin exchanges before TCJA?
As a financial expert, I'm curious to understand the tax implications of bitcoin exchanges prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Specifically, I'm wondering: Did Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, which typically allows for the tax-deferred exchange of like-kind properties, apply to bitcoin exchanges before the passage of the TCJA? This question is paramount in understanding the historical tax treatment of digital assets and their potential for tax deferment prior to the introduction of more stringent regulations with the TCJA. Clarifying this point would provide valuable insight into the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency taxation.
