The court has awarded permission in order to pinpoint the taxpayers who have used cryptocurrency. As per the Federal Court Order, IRS is preparing to get information about taxpayers who performed at least $20,000 worth of deals in cryptocurrency from 2016 to 2020. DOJ disclosed that this crackdown is being performed to know whether those who use cryptocurrency fulfill their tax requirements or not like any other taxpayers.

This John Doe order is part of the IRS attempt to expose those who are attempting to avoid coverage and are not giving their fair share.
